Ding-Chun-Yuan Farm
Ding-Chun-Yuan Farm is located in Guanxi Township, Hsinchu County, a town renowned as a “Longevity Village”. Situated near the pristine Fengshan River, it is an organic sanctuary free from heavy industrial pollution. The farm was founded by Chen Yu-xia with a mission of love: to protect her family’s health and provide a chemical-free haven for search and rescue dogs to rest safely.
Introduction
To fulfill this commitment, Chen Yu-xia completed over 500 hours of professional courses and certification to transition from a novice to a professional farmer and chef. The farm covers approximately 0.34 hectares and holds dual certifications: “Organic Certification” and the “Tse-Xin Foundation Green Conservation Label”.
She insists on challenging open-air cultivation, strictly forbidding chemical pesticides and fertilizers to restore soil vitality and biodiversity. The farm features aromatic herbs, self-sufficient produce, coffee beans, and free-roaming Taiwan Black-Feathered chickens.
