12. St. Mary's Health Farm

推薦 0 收藏 0 轉貼0 訂閱站台


In 2009 Typhoon Morakot struck Taitung causing insurmountable flooding and damage. Many homes were destroyed, leaving hundreds homeless, unemployed and without hope. After the loss of his only daughter, his greatest motivation to work hard for a better life, one of the disaster victims wept so much that he feared he would flood Taitung again. 

In the wake of disaster, St. Mary's Hospital quickly assembled emergency relief. Our goal was to rehabilitate and rebuild the lives of disaster victims. An abandoned farm along Taitung City's Zhiben Road that the Veterans' Affairs Commission was trying to lease became the foundation upon which this goal would grow. 

Over the following year, nearly 4 acres of dilapidated farmland was transformed into a lush oasis which not only provided valuable job opportunities for disaster victims and aboriginals, but also served as a place to promote organic agriculture, as well as soil and water conservation. St. Mary's Health Farm is a welcome opportunity for visitors to get close to Mother Earth. Its facilities are diverse and include a farm plot for the general public to develop agricultural skills, an agrarian workshop, holiday farmer's market, a therapeutic garden, sales center and adjoining restaurant.
