Geumcheon Residents Harvest 5kg of Potatoes Per Person from Anyangcheon

Geumcheon-gu Holds Potato Harvesting Experience Event at Anyangcheon on the 28th

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) held a potato harvesting experience event on the 28th at the Nongchon Punggyeong-gil (614-71 Gasan-dong, right bank), created as part of the plan to make Anyangcheon a famous spot.

Despite the scorching heat, over 220 residents who applied on a first-come, first-served basis through the Geumcheon-gu website participated, showing the undying passion of farmers.

The event proceeded in the order of potato harvesting, potato box packaging and receiving, and purchasing cabbage and celery directly cultivated by the district.

Participants took home up to 5kg (one box) of potatoes per person through the experience. Additionally, they were able to purchase cabbage and celery grown directly by the district at affordable prices (about 60% of market price).

Geumcheon-gu plans to continue operating seasonal harvest experience programs using crops such as radish, cabbage, and corn until October, and also plans to hold sharing events for neighbors in need.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “I hope that residents, who find it difficult to experience rural scenery in their daily lives, had a meaningful time feeling the abundance of the harvest and realizing the importance of nature through the Anyangcheon potato harvesting experience event.”
