Hou-Shi Settlement Introduction
Hou Sheng Settlement values food as the essence of life, and delicious "Hou Sheng" represents the greatest happiness in day-to-day living! The "Hou Sheng Settlement" operates on the principles of "clear sourcing, transparent processing, and fresh supply," bringing together artisans from various fields such as oils, vegetables, fruits, bread, and fermentation. It provides delicious meals with high-quality ingredients in a nature-friendly environment, guiding everyone to re-experience the flavors of dining and living. It’s hard to imagine that such a green market exists along the bustling Guangming Sixth Road in Zhubei; by turning into the subtly marked entrance of "Hou Sheng Settlement," you seem to step into another world. In front of the cool cave, which is warm in winter and cool in summer, lies a pond, with streams bubbling under the shade of green trees. You can even spot heron nests among the branches above. This resembles a natural village settlement, with six lovely shops offering "good food" along with a craft store scattered throughout this urban oasis. "Hou Sheng" means "delicious" in Hakka, and the Hou Sheng Settlement Agricultural Food Cooperative states that everything sold here must meet the three principles of "clear sourcing, transparent processing, and fresh supply." Through the Tree Courtyard platform, they share this philosophy with the public. Recognizing that large-scale commercial production, while reducing costs, raises numerous issues related to the environment, food safety, and social justice, the team hopes to restore a life rich in human connection through the small yet beautiful community economy of Hou Sheng Settlement.
