Highlights of Wei-Chuan Puxin Farm
Puxin Farm was established by Wei-Chuan Corporation and is one of the few large-scale raw milk production facilities in Taiwan open to outside visitors. The farm covers a large area and raises a substantial number of dairy cows, equipped with modern milking machinery. Visitors can learn about the complete process from rearing and milking to raw milk processing under the guidance of a tour guide. The farm also serves an agricultural education function, suitable for families to observe and understand the food production chain firsthand.
In addition to the dairy cow display area, the farm features a European-style ornamental garden with various flowering and decorative plants, providing visitors with a space for photos and relaxation. The animal feeding experience area offers interaction with small animals including rabbits and lambs. The farm has an attached café and dairy products shop where visitors can sample fresh dairy products made on-site. A weekday visit is recommended — weekends draw larger crowds and wait times for activities are longer.
