Hou Restaurant Settlement Introduction
Hou-Shih Settlement believes that food is the essence of life, and enjoying "Hou-Shih" is the greatest happiness! The "Hou-Shih Settlement" gathers artisans of oil, fruits, vegetables, bread, and fermentation under the principles of "clear source, transparent process, and fresh supply." They provide delicious meals using quality ingredients and food in a nature-friendly environment, leading everyone to re-experience the flavors of diet and life. It’s hard to imagine that in a bustling area like Guangming Sixth Road in Zhubei, there exists such a green market. As you turn into the seemingly understated entrance of the "Hou-Shih Settlement," it feels like entering another world — in front of a cave that remains warm in winter and cool in summer, there’s a pond, with streams flowing gently under the shade of lush trees. If you look up, you might spot the nests of black-crowned night herons among the branches, resembling a natural mountain village settlement. Six adorable shops offering "good food," along with a craft store, are scattered throughout this urban oasis. "Hou-Shih" means "delicious" in Hakka, and the Hou-Shih Settlement Agricultural and Food Cooperative states that anything sold here must meet the three principles of "clear source, transparent process, and fresh supply." Through the Tree Courtyard Co-Prosperity Platform, they share this concept with the public. Recognizing that large-scale commercial production may reduce costs but creates more issues regarding the environment, food safety, and social justice, the team hopes to restore a warm and vibrant life through a small and beautiful community economy like Hou-Shih Settlement.
