Ostrich Farm Leisure Agricultural Park Introduction
The "Ostrich Farm" was originally established as "Chia Hsing Ostrich Farm" in September 1998. It is currently located in Yanpu Township, Pingtung County, focusing on the breeding and farming of ostriches, with 13 breeding pairs capable of producing over 600 chicks annually. In response to the diversification of the ostrich industry, it participated in the Ministry of Education's Excellence Program in 2007 in collaboration with the National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism for the planning and experiential marketing of "Ostrich Green Leisure Farm" which transformed the ostrich farm into a weekend leisure farm. It combines tourism, recreation, education, and ostrich cuisine. The leisure farm plans to cultivate fireflies and butterflies, allowing guests to enjoy ostrich delicacies while learning about the ostrich growth process and the ecology of the firefly and butterfly cultivation area. The farm is divided into six main areas: DIY teaching area, fish appreciation and play area, ostrich cuisine restaurant, singing and tea-tasting area, ostrich ecology area, and eco-friendly farm (a farm decorated with environmentally friendly flower pots made from waste tires), with the goal of becoming the largest ostrich tourism farm in Taiwan.
