Tai'an Citizen Farm Introduction
Located beside the Tai'an Waterfall in Qidu District, the Tai'an Citizen Farm distinguishes itself from other farms by offering rental vegetable plots of 10 ping, inviting visitors to experience the spirit of self-sufficiency. After the hard work of planting, guests can enjoy the pride and bittersweetness of harvesting. Anyone interested can rent a piece of farmland for an immersive farming experience. The origin of the Citizen Farm aims to provide relaxation for people living in this concrete jungle, allowing them to experience the leisurely atmosphere of rural life, breathe in the unique aromas of plants and soil. The Council of Agriculture has launched the "Citizen Farm" initiative for some time now, and the Tai'an Citizen Farm is one of its implementations. The farm is divided into multiple units, each available for rent at a low price, supplying farming tools for visitors to try out rural life during their holidays. After renting the land, individuals can plant various vegetables and fruits according to their preferences. The farm owners will also take care of the fields, providing a more authentic experience than online vegetable-growing games, and allowing visitors to enjoy the fruits of their labor. The vegetable garden at the Tai'an Citizen Farm is cultivated by visitors themselves using only organic fertilizers and no pesticides. Although the self-grown vegetables may not look as good as those in the market, they guarantee peace of mind when consuming them. Covering an area of approximately 5.7 hectares, the farm grows crops like yam, pomelo, and green bamboo shoots, and in recent years has also produced black fungus and shiitake mushrooms, both known for their stable quality and yield, all available for public adoption. Not only local residents of Keelung, but also many visitors from afar come here to grow vegetables. The beautiful mountains and waters, coupled with a relaxed lifestyle, are key attractions for tourists. Some even become so passionate about farming that they buy land nearby to become professional farmers, highlighting the farm's immense appeal. "Self-sufficiency. Experience farmer life" has become a popular leisurely activity for modern office workers, allowing them to enjoy the joy of barefoot farming and harvesting. This place surely satisfies your desire to return to nature, escape the urban hustle, and experience the joys and challenges of self-sufficiency.
