Bollywood Veggies Organic Farm (also known as Bollywood Veggies) is a farming collective and organic growing education center located in the Kranji district of North West Singapore.[1][2] The center was launched in 2000 by Ivy Singh-Lim and her husband, former NTUC FairPrice chief executive, Lim Ho Seng, as a project to run after they had both retired from their previous careers.[3][4] Neil Humphreys covered the center in his 2006 book Final Notes From a Great Island.[5]

In 2010 Bollywood Veggies was charged with failing to have its buildings inspected by a structural engineer or hold the inspections after several requests that they do so. Singh-Lim and Seng stated that they did not own the buildings on the center's property (as they were leasing the land[6] ) and that they had not received any prior notices about the requested inspections, to which the courts stated that they were the legal owners of the buildings.[7] They were later cleared of the charges on March 25, 2011, after a judge ruled that it could not be proven beyond a reasonable doubt that Bollywood Veggies had received the notices.[8]
