According to Muan-gun, the stay-type return-to-farming house is a lodging facility created last year where prospective returnees and city residents can experience rural life and farming activities. It was established by purchasing 13,655㎡ of the former Yangjeong Elementary School site in Hyeonggyeong-myeon and installing seven prefabricated houses and a farming experience training center (two facility greenhouses of 600㎡ and a practice field of 2,900㎡).
The residents were selected through document review and face-to-face evaluation by the operating committee. The stay period is up to nine months, and the residents will stay at the return-to-farming house at an affordable cost of a 300,000 KRW deposit and a monthly training fee of 52,000 KRW, receiving systematic farming education.
The county plans to enhance farming capabilities through basic farming practice education and one-on-one customized mentoring for the trainees. Graduates will receive additional points when applying for various return-to-farming support projects conducted by the county in the future, actively encouraging relocation to Muan-gun.
