Origin Natural Ecology Leisure Farm Introduction
"Welcome to this place." This is the greeting sign set up at the Genyuan Natural Ecological Leisure Farm, where "this place" refers not to the price of land but to a precious piece of land meticulously maintained using natural farming methods. The owner of the Genyuan Farm hopes that every visitor who comes here can fully enjoy the farm life closely connected to nature—like smelling the harmless organic soil, tasting the naturally sweet and large fruits, observing the lively and healthy animals, and appreciating the lush plants that stretch naturally. Additionally, visitors are encouraged to gain a deeper understanding of organic agriculture, reminding us to cherish the land we depend on for survival. The promotion of organic farming stems from the owner’s yearning and love for the land of the Hengchun Peninsula. Initially, tree bark was used as fertilizer, providing the healthiest irrigation for the soil and crops. Walking through every corner of Genyuan Natural Ecological Leisure Farm, one can inherently appreciate the precious harmony between humanity and nature, reflecting on the fact that our dependence on the environment far outweighs any selfish destruction. A visit to the farm not only offers leisure enjoyment but feels like taking a course in natural ecology. The overall environment of the farm is primarily characterized by natural landscapes, infused with an ancient charm. Upon entering the farm, visitors are greeted by wooden tables and chairs, lotus ponds, ox carts, stone grinding platforms, red-brick houses, and other scenes that are rustic and elegant. Groups of ducks and geese on the farmland greet arriving visitors with cheerful quacking, seemingly welcoming them as if helping the owner with work. Remarkably, they busily weave through the gardens as if they are little assistants helping the owner keep an eye on things. At Genyuan Natural Ecological Leisure Farm, every sight is a picture created by nature.
