It is a dairy farming and processing base owned by a major local dairy company in Sabah, covering nearly 200 hectares. The plateau has a cool climate with rolling grassy slopes, where herds of Holstein cows graze leisurely. Clouds often drift among the mountains, and the scenery has a touch of New Zealand, which is why it is often called the "Little New Zealand" of Sabah. Most farm experiences revolve around the cows: you can feed calves with milk bottles, feed grass to sheep, and get up close to the farm animals.
