Introduction

Xiuguluan River is a river closely related with the development of agriculture in Eastern Taiwan. The nutrients brought by all the large and small tributaries from the Coastal Mountain and Central Mountain converge in Xiuguluan River, irrigating and fertilizing the fields in the river basin. The largest rice field in Hualien is located in Yuli, Southern Hualien.

Tseng Kuo-Chi believes that traditional agriculture has to undergo reformation. To operate the production cooperative long-term, first he needs to establish a systematic company. He once saw an old farmer walking slowly with his back crooked only because he wanted to pick up the leftover rice from the harvesting machine. Zheng was touched by the elderly man’s affection to cherish everything. Dongfon Farm was thus established.

Soybeans, black soybeans, wheat, and tartary buckwheat have been grown in the farm since 10 years ago. The soybeans are Kaohsiung No. 10, which mainly sells raw beans; the black soybeans are Tainan No. 3 green seeds. In addition to raw beans, there are also low-temperature long-baked black bean teabags that naturally emit a refreshing and sweet flavor after being brewed in hot water, which is aromatically different from the commercially available high-temperature quick-brew beans, and also retains more nutrients.

Rice

In order to distinguish itself from the market and establish its own identity, Dongfon Farm cooperated with the farm to obtain the patented Tainan No. 13 variety, and then the Tainan No. 13 was improved to produce Tainan No. 14, which is a special brown rice variety with the soft texture of rice bran, but retains the fiber and nutrients of brown rice for people who focus on their health.

Long indica white rice has a low starch content and is a kind of long rice. It has one-fifth less carbohydrates than stem rice, and has a finer taste than ordinary indica rice. Long indica white rice grown in Nagara and drinking Yushan water is recommended for people with high blood sugar and those who like to keep fit.

Grains

Dongfon Farm launches simple activities such as making rice flour pudding, muffins and pancakes, as well as soft-tasting radish spaghetti, or using popped rice and wheat to make desserts.

Recently, organic wheat beer brewing is growing increasingly popular. You can make beer of exquisite taste in half a day; and the season-dependent farming experience shows that a short trip down into the fields is enough to change people’s attitudes towards food.
