The owner of Sifang Farm originally engaged in the production of clothing and raincoats. However, in the 1970s, the value of the New Taiwan Dollar began to rise, and mainland China opened up, making it increasingly difficult for Taiwan's labor-intensive industries to survive. Therefore, he was eager to transform his business. At that time, Taiwan's dairy industry had a solid foundation, and dairy farmers were guaranteed a stable price for their raw milk, which was entirely acquired by dairy factories. The dairy farmers were only responsible for production, while the sales were completely handled by the factories. This seemed like a great industry to venture into.
The farm owner was actually from a farming family. In his childhood, there were many mosquitoes in the countryside, and during the summer, cows were often bothered by mosquitoes and flies. He remembered his father sewing mosquito nets to let the cows sleep in them. The cows had become like family members, and he naturally had a special affection for them. When it came to raising cows, both the father and son enthusiastically agreed (except for the wife).
Sifang Farm, spanning over 10 hectares, preserves the original and intact pastoral scenery. Visitors can stroll through the lush forest trails, enjoy a refreshing forest bath, or roam freely in the green meadows, embracing the scenery full of greenery. Of course, a special highlight is getting close to and understanding the ecology of dairy cows. Whether it's feeding calves, observing the milk extraction process, or tasting the fresh milk (which has been rated as the best and most flavorful by the Homemaker's Union), these experiences are both new and interesting.
