“Ha Ga Mi Shang Hao” is a beautifully designed shipping container house located on a rural country road without any signage.
Introduction
In the 1960s, Mr. Wu Shengchang, the owner of “Ha Ga Mi Shang Hao,” worked as a farmer and a blacksmith here to support a family of eight children. He has since been farming for over 50 years. Mr. Wu and his wife established “Ha Ga Mi Shang Hao” and set up direct sales from the source via the internet. They also have a passion for floral and gardening, which they have pursued to the extreme, expanding the farm’s business into more diverse avenues.
Mr. Wu Shengchang said that farming was very hard work in the early days, coupled with unstable prices and uncertain harvests. His father had to work as both a farmer and a blacksmith to support the family, leaving his older siblings to seek work elsewhere. As the youngest in the family, when Mr. Wu grew up, farming was no longer seen as a difficult task. Reports of urban youths returning to farming in rural areas were becoming more common, and with internet marketing and the promotion of organic and healthy farming practices, farming became fashionable. That is why Mr. Wu stayed in the countryside and worked with his wife to continue his father’s farm work. “Ha Ga Mi Shang Hao” was founded in November 2009, and their rice product was named “Ha Ga Mi” (Hakka rice), honoring the diligence and perseverance of the Hakka people.
