Bohae Maesil Farm Cancels 'Haenam Ttangkkeut Maehwa Festival'

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Park Seon-gang] Haenam Bohae Maesil Farm has decided to cancel the Haenam Ttangkkeut Maehwa Festival due to the spread of COVID-19.

According to Bohae Brewery on the 27th, Bohae Maesil Farm planned to hold the Ttangkkeut Maehwa Festival to revitalize the local economy, but the event was canceled as the government raised the infectious disease crisis alert to the highest level, "serious."

In particular, to prevent the spread of COVID-19 within Haenam-gun, access to the Maesil Farm will be controlled.

Bohae Farm considered holding a scaled-down festival with Haenam-gun, but decided to restrict visits to the Maesil Farm to ensure the safety of residents and prevent the spread of infectious diseases in the area.

A Bohae Farm official said, "Bohae planned to hold the Maehwa Festival to revitalize the local economy of Haenam-gun, but canceled the festival to block the infectious disease," adding, "We plan to restrict visits to the Maesil Farm during the festival period to prevent infections caused by individual visitors."

Meanwhile, Haenam Bohae Maesil Farm, created by Bohae Brewery, is the largest Maesil (green plum) farm in Korea, spreading over 140,000 pyeong in Sanim-myeon, Haenam-gun. Since its establishment in 1979, it has been a representative attraction of Haenam visited by tens of thousands of tourists every March when the Maehwa (plum blossoms) bloom. Bohae produces the premium plum wine "Maechwisun" using green plums directly cultivated here as raw materials.
