Four Square Ranch Introduction
The owner of Sifang Ranch originally engaged in the production of ready-made clothing and raincoats. However, in the 1970s, as the New Taiwan Dollar began to appreciate and mainland China opened up, the space for labor industries in Taiwan became increasingly limited. Thus, he thought deeply about transitioning. At that time, Taiwan's dairy farming industry already had a foundation, with 100% of the milk produced being purchased by dairy factories. This meant that dairy farmers were only responsible for production, while the marketing was entirely handled by the dairy factories, and fresh milk was guaranteed a price, making it a wonderful industry! The ranch owner was originally from a farming family, and as a child, he often saw cows being disturbed by mosquitoes and flies in the summer, especially in rural areas where mosquitoes were prevalent. He remembered watching his father carefully sew mosquito nets to let the cows sleep under them, making the cows feel like part of the family, which naturally sparked a special affection for them. When it came to raising cows, both the father and son were fully supportive (except for the wife), thus leading them into the dairy farming business. Covering more than 10 hectares, Sifang Ranch preserves the pristine and intact rustic charm of a pasture. Visitors can wander along lush acacia forest paths, enjoy refreshing forest baths, or freely frolic on the green pastures, embracing the vibrant scenery. Of course, one of the most special experiences is getting close to dairy cows and learning about their ecology! Whether it's feeding calves, observing the milking process, or tasting the fresh milk rated as the best and creamiest by the Housewives' Association, each experience is fresh and enjoyable.
