In the spring of March, spring is in full bloom, which is a good time to go out in the spring. On the morning of April 2, in the City Farm Park of Jangyeong Community in Seoul Street, a special group of young tourists came from the "Tianzhijiao Kindergarten" in Seoul Street.
Under the guidance of the staff, they reclaimed, turned the soil, watered, sowed seeds, and cooperated with the division of labor... Renting a piece of land in the countryside, planting fruits and vegetables, returning to nature, and experiencing happiness; going to the field with your family on holidays to weed, turn the soil, and pick your own vegetables, this is the idyllic life that many urban people yearn for. And all this can be achieved by the "city farm" in Zhangying Community, Hancheng Street, Xinye County.
For many years, vegetable cultivation has been the main pillar of local farmers' income. Based on the basic advantages of the vegetable industry and the geographical advantages of the suburbs of the city, the street accurately positions the development idea of "promoting tourism with agriculture and strengthening agriculture with tourism", and invites Hangzhou urban garden planning institutions to design with high standards, and strives to create a pastoral complex in the suburbs of the city that integrates "sightseeing, leisure, participation and experience", and coordinates the development of leisure agriculture and rural tourism.
In March 2022, the first phase of the vegetable industry private contracting park project "Urban Farm" project was completed and put into use. The first phase of "Urban Farm" covers an area of 300 acres and is divided into two functional partitions: vegetable tourism industrial park and private vegetable land. At present, more than 100 small vegetable fields of 40 to 60 square meters are being contracted.
In recent years, The Zhangying community has adopted the operation mode of "branch + farm + farmer", through the opening of a suburban pastoral complex, attracting surrounding tourists to come to play, realizing the interaction between the city and the countryside, allowing farmers to generate income, and also providing a paradise for urban people to get close to nature and release nostalgia. Create a "Seoul sample" for the pastoral Xinye and add new momentum for rural revitalization.
