Introduction
Xihu Township, Miaoli produces an abundance of fruits and vegetables. Walking along the winding path of Xihu, tourists can see farmlands everywhere, displaying the simplicity of rural villages. Upon spotting the big tree after passing the curve, the visitor has arrived at Duo Duo Looooog Organic Farm. The Farm is surrounded by fences made of bushes, creating a lush, green landscape that is very relaxing. The dogs at the Farm passionately welcome visitors, while farm owner Chang Chia-Rong greets them. Like visiting a friend who they haven’t seen for a long time, visitors will feel comfortable here and smile instantly.
Owner Chang Chia-Rong, though born into a farming family, worked as a wedding photographer in Shanghai for more than ten years. As the seniors in his family grew older, being a wedding photographer became more and more competitive and business more difficult, so he decided to return home to take over the farming. He did not realize how much harm pesticides can cause to health and to farmers until he became a farmer himself. Therefore, he became involved in organic farming, which not only keeps the environment sustainable and achieves ecological balance, but can also best protect the farmer.
