TAIPEI (Taiwan News) – The Jiang Ma Yuan Recreational Farm (薑麻園休閒農業區) in Miaoli’s Dahu Township is promoting a “working holiday” activity in July, Central News Agency reported on Thursday (May 30).
The farm, a former winner of “the top 10 rural villages” in Taiwan, has begun to accept applications. They must be college students and will be offered a lively and interesting summer vacation experience.
Miaoli County Government Agricultural Department Director Chen Jin-jun (陳錦俊) said Jiang Ma Yuan was once a traditional, ginger growing farming community. It has developed into a multi-purpose recreational farm that is involved in agricultural production, marketing, green consumption, and tourism.
