Abandoned bicycles, iron chairs, moved to the farm, is a scenery.
The rides are all made of wood and construction waste, swings, climbing frames, seesaws, slides... All wood is laid on the large lawn.

The top and sides of each table are carefully designed so guests can enjoy the natural beauty as much as they like.
The whole farm does not have tall amusement facilities, all of which are made of waste materials, adapted to local conditions, and turned waste into treasure, but they are also interesting and full of details.
Make a fun farm
With all the details and beauty in mind, the charm of this treasure farm goes far beyond that.
Based on farming, agronomy and farming, it has created a paradise for understanding nature and being close to nature.
Farming: The farm follows the 24 solar terms of organic ecological planting as the guide, combined with modern agricultural high-tech, to achieve field planting, substrate planting, hydroponic planting, aerosol cultivation and other organic fruit and vegetable production and flower planting.
They reject various chemical agents such as chemical fertilizers and pesticides, improve the soil with ecological self-composting, and harvest a variety of organic vegetables and fruits.
Agronomy: In the garden therapy studio and regeneration flower room, parent-child courses such as nature painting art and farm creative handicraft are provided to promote the concept of harmonious and beautiful life.
Farming: As a platform for young people to popularize natural science and practical education and training in agriculture, children become small farmers to experience planting, fertilization...
Understand the importance of fruits and vegetables of different colors to people's bodies, lead children to recognize plants and animals, and contact and learn about soil and natural solar terms.
The various small animals on the farm are clean and tidy, and if plants are the inner strength, they are the vitality that children can really feel.
The chicken coop was also very clean and there was a small door for the little ones to get in and play.
What to play? Touch the egg.
When they went to the fields to catch the ducks, a group of ducks was driven by the children to the water and then hid in the rice paddies.
In fact, this is the use of omnivorous ducks to eat the pests in the rice field, and these agricultural science knowledge are painted next to the field.
In the larger sense of "recyclable", Jiushan Farm is one of the very few farms in Shanghai that composts themselves, and children will see the practice and explanation of composting on the spot.
Therefore, it is also a base for many international schools and kindergartens to carry out activities such as science days.
Treat a piece of land with heart
Talking about the reasons for doing the Nine Virtues, founder Gao Bei said this:
"I hope to find the answer from the land, treat a piece of land with my heart, observe, nourish, cultivate it with my heart, experience the essence of nature and life with my heart, and let myself connect with this essence a little more, rather than squandering at the end of the chain, which is the reason and purpose of my farm."
Gao Bei and the children play on the farm
There are some neighbors and friends in the community who will order vegetables on the farm, we pick them on the same day, bring them together when we go back, and also share the process of growing vegetables and fruits on the farm, and everyone will often go to the farm to play, help, and release the children.
For everyone, the farm is like a rich friend in life, like a home that can be returned.
At present, we have begun to gradually open up volunteer recruitment to exchange agricultural work for organic vegetables.
Since the beginning of the year, we have been offering a variety of organic healthy dishes and a variety of agronomic courses, farming practices and nature rides, and more and more people are coming to the farm for family days, parties and other activities.
Many people who have come to the farm have thus become friends with the farm and have always paid attention to and been close to the farm.
What we want to do most is to treat a land with our hearts and make ourselves more connected to nature and life.
