Ostrich Home Leisure Farm Introduction
The "Big Ostrich Family Leisure Farm" was originally established as "Jiaxing Ostrich Farm" in September 1998. Currently located in Yanpu Township, Pingtung County, the farm primarily focuses on breeding and raising ostriches, with 13 breeding pairs that produce over 600 chicks each year. In response to the diversification of the ostrich industry, in 2007, it participated in the Ministry of Education's Excellence Program and collaborated with the National Kaohsiung University of Hospitality and Tourism on the "Planning of Ostrich Green Leisure Farm and Design and Experience Marketing Plan for Gourmet Products," transforming the ostrich farm into a leisure farm for weekends. It integrates tourism, recreation, education, and ostrich cuisine. The leisure farm plans to cultivate "fireflies and butterflies," allowing visitors to enjoy ostrich dishes while learning about the growth process of ostriches and the ecology of the firefly and butterfly cultivation areas. The farm is divided into six main zones: DIY teaching area, fish watching and water play area, ostrich cuisine restaurant, singing and tea tasting area, ostrich ecology area, and an eco-friendly farm (decorated with recycled tires). It aims to become the largest ostrich-themed tourist farm in Taiwan.
