Ranch employees of various ages are working at the moment. Ranch wants to raise animals in their natural appearance. The vast organic pasture provides a delicious dining table for animals and a comfortable resting place for people to enjoy mysterious and beautiful scenery.

Currently, the products produced by the livestock have been commercialized and sold in ranches and nearby areas. It’s not easy to work on a ranch, but I want to let woofers know the speciality of a ranch in the vast nature. Our ranch implements a sustainable farming method that protects the natural ecosystem, and it is our dream future to protect Mother Nature and share food together as nature has given us.
