With the development of Taiwan's tourism industry, Taiwan's agriculture has once again entered our sight. Indeed, there are so many places worth learning from in Taiwan’s agriculture. Today we will go to Taiwan’s leisure agriculture together.
1
pursues artistic personality rather than short-term interests
Taiwan leisure farm owners have a common feature, they all love rural pastoral life, and the original intention of building leisure farms. Some even want to realize a childhood dream. They do not pursue short-term profits, but pay great attention to the protection of the ecological environment from the beginning. During the construction and operation process, we constantly integrate our own creativity and compare the farm to our own art works. Guests can clearly feel the owner's artistic style and personality pursuit.

Positioning differentiated, distinctive theme
Taiwan leisure farms have distinctive themes and outstanding personality. These themes include fruit picking, bamboo, vanilla, tea, famous flowers and exotic grass ornamentation, insect collection, dairy sheep, cows, crabs, crocodiles, ostrichs and other experiences. They are constantly innovating and keeping tourists full of novelty.
For example, the "Qinglin Farm" located in Guanyin Township, Taoyuan, has sunflowers planted all year round. It is also open for free to visit, and there is also a "both farm" that specializes in the cultivation of insectivorous plant , which includes Nepenthes , Venus flytrap , blanket moss, bottle grass , etc.
Many farms can tell the characteristics of the farm when they see the name. For example, the "smoked garden" mainly with vanilla, the "flying cattle ranch" mainly with dairy cows, the "Binlang Phalaenopsis Sightseeing Farm" mainly with orchids, and the "flower blooming farm" planted a large number of precious forests and strange flowers and plants. 3
Continuous innovation pursues creativity
For example, the traditional project Yetuo T-shirt of Toucheng Farm is constantly launched with new patterns, often with new ideas, and fixed customer sources can come to consume repeatedly. Jinyong DIY Farm adds new tomato varieties every year, and combines tomatoes from various countries with the "United Nations Tomato Gift Box" so that tourists can taste tomatoes from various countries, shapes, colors and flavors in one gift box.
Taomi Village built an artificial lake on the earthquake ruins. It erected several springs by the lake, held up a small boat with a mast on it, and stood on it. People stood on the boat, and could experience the shaking feeling of the earthquake and named the boat "shaking memory".

In-depth experience Qile Rongrong
Taiwan leisure farms all have facilities for multiple people to enjoy, such as barbecue area, fruit picking area, game area, farming experience area, etc.
Some also have baking areas full of fun in rural Taiwan, providing tourists with fun in the earthen kiln roasted sweet potatoes and roasted earthen kiln chickens; some hold agricultural-related educational activities and fun competitions from time to time; some provide opportunities to contact animals on the field, and tourists can experience the life of the pasture farm by feeding calves, squeezing milk, and drinking raw milk.

Education and entertainment. It is popular
Leisure farmhouse is not only a leisure and entertainment, play, but also a good place for practice and learning. The farm usually mainly receives teachers and students in the school, used for graduation trips or outdoor teaching. On weekends, it mainly attracts guests on family vacations, and has business every day.
For example, "Taiyi Ecological Education Farm" has carefully designed different areas such as flower arrangement life hall, talent classroom, parent-child play area, flower maze, romantic hut, butterfly beetle ecological hall, etc. Visitors can visit in sequence.

Local materials: Stones are turned into gold
Taiwan leisure farms are particularly good at discovering and exploring local historical and cultural resources, such as grass weaving, rattan weaving, carving, handicrafts, local dance, drama, music, historical and historical stories, and legends. Through novel and creative ideas, they create a special brand.
For example, Taomi Village in the earthquake-stricken area contains rich ecological resources. There are 29 native species of frogs in Taiwan, 23 species of peach rice, 143 species of dragonflies on the island of Taiwan, and 56 species are found in Taomi. With the help of the local government, the villagers of Taomi Village have tapped the potential of resources, constantly promoted various frogs and colorful dragonflies, and designed various cute cartoon images of the two small animals.Conspicuous locations in the countryside are encouraged to take action, using paper, cloth, stone and other rural materials to make handicrafts, which quickly transforms Taomi Village from an earthquake ruin into an insect ecological cultural experience and leisure area.

Farm-oriented and far-sighted
Most of the largest leisure farms in Taiwan have taken the lead in establishing professional cooperatives, and they have a very clear understanding of the potential economic benefits of products and market sales.
With the help and guidance of the farmers' association, farmers have also become production experts, distribution experts and market analysts. They pay attention to the international market sales of products, are good at capturing changes in the international market, and constantly establish and expand trade relations in new international markets.
For example, the phalaenopsis orchid cultivated in Qing Poland Garden, the original parent seed is imported from Japan. With the help of the technology of the Farmers Association, it adopts parent cloning technology and traditional pollination technology to cultivate and reproduce excellent new seedlings. The cultivated seedlings are closely linked to the international market and order orders two years in advance with Japanese and American customers.

Deep processing benefits double
Taiwan's deep processing of agricultural products, from fresh fruit food, fresh storage, dry product refining to ingredient extraction to making facial mask cream and skin care beauty products, etc., has a complete series of production, production and packaging technologies, which greatly extends the industrial chain.
, such as Jiupin Lotus Ecological Education Park, they set up agricultural product processing and sales centers or outlets with their own systems. The processes of various agricultural products from product processing, refrigeration, spray-killing treatment to sorting and packaging are not complicated, but their series of products are full of everything, ranging from ice cream, fresh fruit beverages, fruit granular products, dried fruit products to skin care products.
For example, Nantou County Xinyi Township Farmers Association introduced young people to return home, relying on local plum specialties, designed dozens of special products, and creatively packaged them, becoming the most distinctive agricultural products and the most popular tourist products in the local area.

Planning is first managed and managed in place
Taiwanese government departments directly participate in planning and counseling, and the agricultural administration department is responsible for the management and consultation of leisure agriculture, provide subsidies and loans, and also issued various relevant regulations and management measures without any opportunity, and formed a complete application and approval system. From the provincial level to cities, counties, districts, townships and even small to a farm and farmers, most of them have a short, medium and long-term plan, including guiding ideology, market positioning, development principles, project settings, funding budgets, benefit analysis, etc., which gradually leads to regularization and proceduralization of various work in leisure agriculture, and has effectively promoted the development of leisure agriculture.
Each Leisure farm construction is carefully planned, designed and constructed. All house construction and accommodation have the style characteristics of rural architecture, and try to explore local resource advantages, such as hot springs, grasslands, streams, seas, rocks, ancient trees, etc.
In terms of regional planning, Taiwan's current leisure agriculture has deviated from its early "point" business method. Instead, it is connected marketing for "points, lines, and surfaces", which makes it easier for travel agencies to package different travel routes and conduct classified marketing.

Reasonable layout of agricultural tourism interactive
Taiwan leisure farms are properly layout, most of which are distributed on tourism routes, and each scenic spot can be combined with tourism, which has the guarantee of customer sources. The integration of segmentation and regionalization has achieved considerable results.
For example, Miaoli County Nanzhuang Township Leisure B&B Area, has nearly 80 rural B&Bs. Relying on these homestays, the countryside has developed the century-old Osmanthus Alley into a characteristic tourist street, which has driven the development of Hakka specialty catering, specialty snacks, special handicrafts and other related industries. After coming here, tourists can experience the different farm styles while experiencing the Hakka culture with local characteristics in a more comprehensive manner.
Small farmer fungi: Of course, there are many leisure agriculture in the mainland that are also well done, and they are also very similar to Taiwan. Drawing on Taiwan’s excellent experience in leisure agriculture, our leisure agriculture may be able to achieve better development.
