Every Tuesday morning, a steady queue forms at the community farm located in Jalan Tuntung, Section 20, Shah Alam, well before the harvest is even weighed. The farm offers a variety of fresh produce at prices that have remained unchanged since 2016, exemplifying a commitment to affordability under the policy known locally as Harga Kasih Sayang, or "prices of love and affection."

At the farm, commonly sought-after items such as bunga kantan (torch ginger flower) are sold at just RM2 for three stalks, significantly lower than the RM8 or more charged at supermarkets. Similarly, fresh sugarcane juice is available at RM3 per 500ml bottle, compared to RM5 or RM6 in other outlets, while a bundle of long beans is priced at RM6.

The nearly one-hectare plot, once an informal football pitch and later a dumping site for felled trees, was transformed into a productive community farm through local efforts. This conversion formally began on April 7, 2016, when the Shah Alam City Council (MBSA), via its Zone 7 Residents’ Representative Council (MPP), allocated the land to residents in the area. Prior to this, debris from tree clearing activities throughout the city had been deposited on the site. Local residents cleared the waste and received their individual garden plots by April 23, 2016.

Within five months of its establishment, the farm earned third place at the Malaysian Agriculture, Horticulture & Agro-tourism Show 2016 in the Klang Valley category. Since then, it has secured first place in several state-level community garden competitions. Datuk Izham Hashim, chairman of the Selangor infrastructure and agriculture committee, has highlighted Jalan Tuntung as a national model for efficient organization and high productivity under the Selangor Agro Transformation initiative.

While the project initially involved 59 households, daily farming activities rely on a committed core of 16 to 20 volunteers, predominantly senior citizens. Ages among participants range from early 30s to over 80, with the most consistent contributors in their 50s and older. The physical demands of farming, particularly the bending and kneeling required, prompted the committee to apply for external funding to better support its ageing workforce.

A RM100,000 grant was secured through the Program SejaTi Madani, specifically to address these challenges. The funds facilitated the construction of raised fertigation beds, enabling senior gardeners to cultivate crops such as eggplants at waist height, reducing strain and improving accessibility.

Committee member Johan Abdullah Sani, 78, often arrives at the farm as early as 7 a.m. to undertake tasks like weeding and pest control. He describes the farm as a "modern" garden, distinguishing it from traditional rural farms by combining community-driven manual labor with innovative practices. Despite the physical nature of the work, the dedication of these volunteers underscores the community spirit that sustains the project and its mission to provide fresh, affordable produce.
