Hi,

Welcome to the forum.

Without having to go out of Taipei, this site gives you location e.t..c. of various types of Farms you can visit within the Taipei Area. Just click on any district for further information:

Fruit Farms in Taipei??

Not in Taipei but about 2 hrs. away, Toucheng Farm in Yilan was recommended to me by a friend who has been there:

Directions: Take a Tze-chiang train to Toucheng 頭城 and a taxi to Toucheng Farm 頭城農場 (about NT220).

hi.. i%26#39;ve checked out the site given by nutty and seems like most of the fruit farms are only available from dec to mar. how was ur trip and did u visit any of the fruit farms?

hi there....maybe what u can do is to call up tour agencies....cos seriously if u notice, almost all tour agencies in s%26#39;pore will offered a trip to fruit farms or those flower farms....maybe u can ask them what%26#39;s e name or e directions there...i remember that i went to a fruit farm in last may.....they have it at all seasons just that some r open at certain times some doesa not due to e diff fruits they grow.....the one that i went in may grow tomatoes and cherry......they r all not located in tazipei city itself but at taipei county itself....ard at least an hour to travel......but seriously, i will persuaded you not to go....cos there u have to pay money to pluck fruits....it%26#39;s usually just a small nusery with a very simple food stall/rest. there....

if u want something laidback or back to e rural life type, you might considered farm stays.....:)

oic.. thanks for the update.. the visit to the fruit farms is coz of my mum.. this is the 2nd family trip we%26#39;re having since eons ago and she wans to pluck fruit so hence.. i saw this article about fruit farms in taichung.. may consider to go there instead as it seems to have a bigger variety and can visit the feng chia night market after that... anyone knows whether is the feng chia night market a tourist trap? it seems to be on most travel itinerary of travel agencies...

Current Info on What%26#39;s Happening in some of the farms now:
