Introduction
The Lianxinyuan Sheltered Farm was established in 2014. It first took care of the elderly living alone, and then included the physically and mentally handicapped. To safeguard the welfare and employment issues of the less fortunate, and promote integration into society and self-reliance through education, thereby having a chance at a normal life like you and me, the founder Zhang Tiandang has decided to lead these members of community to start with the planting of vegetables.
The Farm covers every step of work on its own, from weeding, sowing, and sprouting to harvesting, cleaning, sorting, and packaging. It is not easy. To train the mentally challenged for farming, technicians have to adjust the process from simple to difficult. Through repetitive practice, the mentally challenged gradually become familiar with the job. It seems simple for people to harvest each leaf of lettuce, arugula, flowers, and plants, but for the mentally challenged, it is not easy at all. More than 10 mentally challenged people work at the Farm, developing from being awkward to skillful. Their personalities have even changed. The vegetable garden is filled with happy laughter every day, and the vegetables grown there taste more and more delicious.
