Brand story

how a housewife became an agricultural leader; How do I go from being a flower farmer to a smallholder herbal farmer? What kind of farm is Daisetsuzan Farm?

I was born in Puli, Nantou, and I have lived in this simple town for more than a few years. It really wasn’t easy, and forty years ago I chose to start my farming cliff from flowers to support my family. My limited knowledge of agriculture drove me to take more agricultural courses and exchange experiences with other farmers. Gradually, I began to grow flowers with a lot of fruit. The good times were not usual, and several times, in the face of the typhoon, we were unable to save a whole year’s effort, and all the hard work was completely swept away. Looking at the foreground, tears welled down. After discussing it with my significant other, I decided to end with flowers.

History

What else can I do? When there was no way out, a friend suggested that herbal medicine would be a trend. I started planting with Taiwan Golden Thread Link and Ashitaba. In this way, Daisetsuzan Farm began to bond with medicinal plants thirty years ago.

Flowers and medicinal plants are clearly different – flowers are decorative and romantic; Medicinal plants target the body to help maintain its function and health; The planting management of the two is also different. This made me examine everything I did during this period of flower cultivation in the past. Flower farmers are often exposed to chemicals such as pesticides and herbicides. Toxicity also often enters our bodies during the spraying action. Day after day, the body gradually deteriorated. After changing careers, I also began to realize that the body and the environment are inseparable. It was also because of my previous experience that I was more interested in herbal medicine; And I know that medicinal plants can help people. That’s why I decided to use environmentally friendly farming – organic farming – to create a different world. In addition to studying what kind of contribution medicinal plants themselves can bring to mankind, I also became a pioneer in the processing of medicinal plants at that time.

Over time, the number of medicinal plants on the farm grew to seventeen, and the best cultivation of each plant was refined to achieve a good harvest. In addition to fresh products, we have also developed a variety of processed products for medicinal plants, which have been recognized and praised in various aspects. In the 93rd year of the Republic of China, I stood out in the selection of hundreds of agricultural elites and won the honor of the Oscar “Shennong Award” in the agricultural industry.
