Introduction
“We people in the countryside…” When Farmily Farm owner Kuo, Cheng-Yung begins a sentence like this, tourists feel a bit surprised. However, Baishihu Community is undoubtedly one of the few places retaining its rural look among the suburbs of Taipei. Working diligently, the farmers here mainly grow vegetables and strawberries. By taking the MRT to Neihu Station and transferring to Small 2 Bus, visitors can reach “the countryside” in just 15 minutes, instead of traveling all the way to Southern Taiwan. Here, tourists can easily have fun picking fruit.
The hiking trails around Baishihu Community are well-constructed. Bishanyan, a temple with lots of worshippers, and Baishihu Suspension Bridge are also located here. Visitors can enjoy the night view here. Family Farm is located in the rear part of about 20 farms and thus has fewer tourists. Yet because of this, it avoids the noise of the crowds and is more peaceful, one famous news anchor has taken family to pick strawberries and sip coffee here many times because of the tranquility here.
The Farm mainly grows perfumed strawberries. Like rubies the fruit glitters in the sun. Every December, boys would take girls in search of the sweet taste of happiness. “If you look carefully, you can find white strawberries with the mild fragrance of peaches.” The Farm grows strawberries on three-tier elevated platforms. The aisles are broad, clean and dry so when people visit their shoes don’t get dirty.
