With a growing emphasis on both taste and health, the farm's orchard is committed to chemical-free planting. White jade loquats are its main crop, but it also cultivates a diverse array of fruits such as mandarins, persimmons, cherries, pears, and kiwis, ensuring a year-round supply of seasonal delights.

Since 2024, the farm has evolved from an ecological orchard into a comprehensive leisure destination, complete with a cafe and courtyards. Visitors can enjoy popular activities like brewing tea over stoves and special treats such as fruit-based drinks crafted from the farm's own produce, served alongside sizzling charcoal-fired hotpots.

This farm is an ideal escape from the city's hustle and bustle. Guests can pick fresh vegetables and fruits, participate in hands-on cooking experiences in the courtyard, or simply relax in a rocking chair, watching the clouds drift by.
