The economic and educational value of this tourism package is emphasized:

“Bringing Rp 100,000 is more than enough. You can get one kilogram of premium melon for Rp 50,000. The remainder can be used to buy chicken or duck rice for Rp 35,000 and the rest for coffee. Besides that, you also get melon education,” the explanation noted.

This affordable cost makes Kasturi Village an ideal choice for families or school groups.

From Garden to Table: The Experience Flow

  2. All-in-One Food Court (Pujasera): After picking, the remaining money can be allocated at the integrated food court area. Various dishes are available, from main courses like duck rice, chicken rice, fried rice, to light meals such as maryam bread, es teler, and various coffee choices (from traditional coffee to espresso).

Visitor Testimonial: One visitor praised the product quality and affordable prices: “The melon tastes incredibly sweet. It’s still fresh because it’s taken directly from the vine in the greenhouse. If you bring Rp 100,000, it’s more than enough. You might even have some left over.”
