Tai'an Citizen Farm

Located next to Tai'an Waterfall in Qidu District, Tai'an Citizen Farm distinguishes itself from other farms by promoting the rental of 10-ping (approx. 33 sqm) vegetable plots. It hopes visitors will experience the spirit of self-sufficiency through farming, enjoying the pride and challenges of harvest after the hard work of cultivation. Any interested visitor can rent a plot of land for a farmer experience. The origin of citizen farms is to allow people living in the concrete jungle of cities to relax their tense nerves, experience the leisurely atmosphere of rural life, and breathe in the unique fragrance of plants and soil in the fields. The Council of Agriculture launched the 'Citizen Farm' initiative some time ago, and Tai'an Citizen Farm is one of its implementations. At Tai'an Citizen Farm, multiple plots are divided and rented to the public at affordable prices, with farming tools provided, allowing visitors to experience rural life during holidays. After renting a plot, people can plant various fruits and vegetables according to their preferences. On weekdays, the farm owner meticulously cares for the fields, making it more realistic than vegetable-growing games on social media, and allowing visitors to enjoy the fruits of their own labor. At Tai'an Citizen Farm's vegetable garden, you can personally cultivate the land using only organic fertilizers and no pesticides. Although the vegetables you grow yourself might not look as perfect as those in the market, we guarantee they are absolutely safe to eat. The farm, covering an area of approximately 5.7 hectares, cultivates crops such as yams, pomelos, and green bamboo shoots. In recent years, it has also cultivated black fungus and shiitake mushrooms, with stable quality and yield, all available for public adoption. Not only Keelung citizens but also many visitors from afar come here to grow vegetables. The beautiful mountains and rivers, along with the relaxed and carefree lifestyle, are key reasons why visitors love this place. Some even get addicted and buy land nearby to become professional farmers, demonstrating the farm's immense appeal. 'Self-sufficiency through farming and experiencing a farmer's life' is one of the emerging holiday recreational activities for modern office workers. If you wish to enjoy the pleasure of cultivating barefoot and the joy of harvest, this place can surely fulfill your desire to return to nature, experience the hardships and joys of self-cultivation away from the city.
