Jangheung-gun Opens 'Happiness Growing Farm' for Returning Farmers Experience

Experience from Crop Cultivation to Rural Life

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Jeong Seunghyun] Jangheung-gun, Jeollanam-do, will open the "Urban Residents' Happiness Cultivation Farm" on the 30th.

The Happiness Cultivation Farm was created to provide a place for meetings and communication among returnees to farming and rural areas, to encourage their transition to farming through agricultural experience, and to support their stable settlement.

Located in Haengwon-ri, Jangheung-eup, the Urban Residents' Happiness Cultivation Farm is equipped with 40 garden plots, small greenhouses, and water facilities, allowing returnees to farming and rural areas to conveniently engage in agriculture.

Eligibility for applying to the farm includes returnees who have lived in urban areas for more than one year and then moved to Jangheung-gun, or non-agricultural residents living in rural areas without farming experience within the last five years.

Since the public recruitment began on the 6th, 14 households have been selected, and applications are accepted on an ongoing basis for unsold plots.

Citizens wishing to participate can inquire in advance and apply at the Jangheung-gun Urban Residents Support Center.

A Jangheung-gun official stated, "Since the Urban Residents' Happiness Cultivation Farm is used as family garden plots, no pesticides or chemical fertilizers are used, and crops are grown organically, allowing participants to experience healthy food production," adding, "We hope this will be an opportunity to cultivate happiness in rural life through the simple joys of farming."
