Located in the mountains of Neihu District, Taipei City, Baishisenhuo Organic Farm is situated near the “Baishihu Leisure Agriculture Area”. Named after the scattered natural giant white rocks in the area, it is only a 15-minute drive from the MRT station, making it an excellent getaway for city dwellers.
Introduction
The farm is operated by Liu Zhao-xian and Huang Ming-ying, a couple who returned from Canada with healthy organic eating concepts. They have dedicated themselves to agricultural promotion, fulfilling Huang’s childhood dream of becoming a teacher by serving as professional food and farming education promoters.
The farm emphasizes sustainability and ecological balance, employing organic cultivation throughout the area and strictly avoiding pesticides and chemical fertilizers. The owners practice circular agriculture by transforming old leaves and fruit waste into compost and enzymes. For water management, they collect rainwater, treat wastewater, and use natural spring water for irrigation. They even built a lotus ecological pond that attracts egrets, showcasing a beautiful scene of coexistence with nature. Furthermore, the park overlooks the Taipei Basin and is surrounded by circular mountain trails for hiking and landscape tours.
