With a little melancholy, continue to the Xikou tribe to look at the scenery of the Dahan River, and then turn to the secluded and beautiful tribe "Gasenao" on the upper reaches of Kuihui River.

"Gas Nao" welcomes "Urban Farmer" One day farmer, ecological, original meal

Gasenao is about 700 to 750 meters above sea level, with pleasant scenery, fresh air, and rich wild animals and mountain plants. The tribe began to grow organic vegetables before 2007. Although they faced difficulties such as lack of manpower and funds, the tribe never gave up. In 2011, they successfully obtained the certification of organic agricultural products from the "China Organic Agriculture Association", which opened up another way for the marketing of agricultural products. A door.

As the products are healthy and organic, they have received considerable recognition, the cultivation area has increased, and the output value has also increased, which has attracted the investment of ethnic groups and encouraged young people to return to their hometowns and activate the tribe.

In order to market "Gas Nao", the tribe reorganized the natural resources, and connected scenic spots and ancient roads to combine the positive practices of "life, ecology, and production" to restore the tribe to an ecological homeland and a self-sufficient living circle.

At present, the Gasenao Tribe cooperates with the Taoyuan County Government to launch the "Gasenao Organic Happy Life Tour", holding a "One-Day Farmer" experience activity, so that urban friends can personally go to the fields to plant and harvest vegetables, while the tribe roams along the trails. Through ecological explanations, visitors can understand the environment and culture of the tribe.

After watching urban friends stepping barefoot in the vegetable garden, planting various vegetables, and tasting the freshly cooked organic original meal, a happy smile hangs on their faces. The organic farmer's experience in the city is obviously in line with the needs of urbanites. The tribe is using organic as the driving force to clear the fog and reveal the dawn.

PS: "Gas Nao Organic Lives Tour" is currently suspended, which is a pity. In fact, it is not easy for a young farmer to return to his hometown to promote local tourism, even if he is so happy and educational. There are good activities everyone should grasp and give encouragement.
