Sifang Ranch Introduction
The owner of Sifang Ranch originally engaged in the production of ready-made garments and raincoats. However, in the 1970s, as the New Taiwan Dollar began to appreciate and mainland China opened up, the survival space for labor-intensive industries in Taiwan became increasingly limited. Therefore, he decided to transform his business. At that time, Taiwan's dairy industry was already well-established, with dairy farms being guaranteed 100% milk purchasing by dairy factories, which meant that dairy farmers were solely responsible for production while sales were fully handled by the factories. Moreover, raw milk had a guaranteed price, making it an excellent industry! The ranch owner came from a farming family; as a child, he witnessed how his father sewed mosquito nets for cows to protect them from mosquitoes and flies during the summer. The cows became part of the family, and naturally, he developed a special bond with them. When it came to raising cows, both father and son were fully supportive (except for the wife), leading them into the dairy farming industry. Covering an area of over 10 hectares, Sifang Ranch retains the original pastoral charm, allowing visitors to follow lush acacia tree paths to enjoy a refreshing forest bath or indulge in the green expanse of the meadows. Of course, what's particularly special is the opportunity to get close to dairy cows and learn about their ecology! Whether it’s feeding calves, observing the milking process, or tasting the fresh milk evaluated as the best and most aromatic by the Housewives Alliance, it’s a fresh and enjoyable experience.
