Ostrich Farm Leisure Farm Introduction
The "Big Ostrich House Leisure Agricultural Farm," originally established as "Jiaxing Ostrich Ranch" in September 1998, is located in Yanpu Township, Pingtung County. The farm primarily focuses on breeding and raising ostriches, with 13 breeding pairs that can produce over 600 chicks annually. In light of the diversified management methods in the ostrich industry, the farm participated in the Ministry of Education's Excellence Program in 2007, collaborating with the National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism on the "Planning and Design of Ostrich Green Leisure Farm and Food Product Experience Marketing Plan." The ostrich farm was transformed into a weekend leisure farm that integrates tourism, relaxation, education, and ostrich gourmet cuisine. The leisure farm plans to cultivate "fireflies and butterflies," allowing visitors to enjoy ostrich delicacies while learning about the growth process of ostriches and the ecology of the firefly and butterfly breeding areas. The farm is divided into six main areas: DIY teaching area, fish viewing and play area, ostrich gourmet restaurant, singing and tea tasting area, ostrich ecological area, and eco-friendly farm (a farm decorated with recycled tire flower pots). The goal is to become the largest ostrich tourism ranch in Taiwan.
