This farm advocates an environmentally friendly agriculture method. Due to Taiwan's humid climate, the number of bugs and insects are relatively high and hence agriculture becomes very difficult without the use of chemicals and pesticides. This farmer suggests that there are some other ways to reduce the use of pesticides and create a more environmentally friendly farm that not only benefits those who ingest the fruit, but also the land and farmers themselves. This farm specially sells cold hardy mandarin, one of my favourite fruits of Taiwan. The farmer's son went back to his old home and decided to use his knowledge in university to help sell the fruit directly, bypassing the involvement of the retail supply chain which consumes a significant proportion of sales revenue. Nevertheless, the farm produces many other goods made out of their mandarins, such as jam and bread.
