Introduction
After Typhoon Morakot in 2009, the couple Yang Chin-Kun and Li Hsiang-Fen returned to Dane, Tainan to take over the avocado farm left by their mother. Using eco-friendly natural farming, the Farm not only keeps its natural environment in sod culture but also stocks chickens and geese for biological control. For 11 years, the Farm has expanded to 2.5 ha. and now grows more than 30 kinds of avocados. The Farm also grows cocoa, roselle, rambutans, and other plants. Although the Farm does not yield as much as those using conventional agriculture methods, because the fruits grown by the Farm are natural and healthy, it enjoys a group of customers that are quite faithful for their harvest. Now their daughter Yang, Tzu-Hsien also returns home to help with the Farm. The two generations work hard together in the hopes of growing the fruit of happiness.
Left Bank Blessed Farm grows more than 30 kinds of avocados. Currently, nine kinds of avocados stably yield a massive quantity for the Farm. Yang Chin-Kun said that previously, his mother did not grow a lot of avocados. The orchard was like her playground. She took meticulous care of the avocados, weeding and taking care of the fruit trees every day, insisting on growing avocados without pesticides. After the couple took over the orchard, they decided to remain the same way. Other farmers used to laugh at them for being “so foolish.”
