It's hard to imagine that on the bustling Guangming 6th Road in Zhubei, there's a serene green market like Hushi Settlement. As you enter through the modest entrance, you're transported to another world. The atmosphere is reminiscent of a mountain village, complete with a pond, lush greenery, and the soothing sound of running water. Above, you can spot the nest of a black-crowned cisticola, adding to the natural ambiance.

"Hushi" is a Hokkien term that means "delicious." The Hushi Settlement Agricultural Cooperative emphasizes that every item sold here adheres to three core principles: clear sourcing, transparent processing, and fresh supply. Through the Tree Courtyard sharing platform, they aim to spread this concept to the public. The team acknowledges that large-scale commercial production may reduce costs but often leads to environmental, food safety, and social justice issues. Therefore, they strive to create a community-driven economy through Hushi Settlement, one that is small yet beautiful, and rekindle a sense of warmth and humanity in everyday life.
