Ba Sian Sustainable Farm

Ba Sian Sustainable Farm (八仙六代園) stands as a unique example of agroecology in the heart of Taipei, blending sustainable agriculture with urban resilience. As young farmers cultivating within a metropolitan landscape, we embrace permaculture principles to restore soil health, enhance biodiversity, and create a self-sustaining ecosystem. Our farm serves as a regenerative learning space, where visitors reconnect with nature and discover the deep connection between healthy soil, nutritious food, and community well-being.

By integrating agroecological methods such as companion planting, composting, and water conservation, we ensure that our farming practices not only produce flavorful, chemical-free food but also regenerate the environment. Our approach strengthens urban food sovereignty, demonstrating how cities can be productive and ecologically balanced. Through hands-on experiences, we inspire urban dwellers to rethink their food systems and adopt more sustainable lifestyles.

The farm welcomes groups by appointment, offering seasonal workshops that align with natural cycles, from planting nitrogen-fixing cover crops to harvesting heritage vegetables. Visitors engage in hands-on learning, experiencing how agroecology can turn small urban spaces into thriving food forests. Every visit fosters a deeper appreciation for ecological balance and empowers people to take part in reshaping urban agriculture.

Promote an agriculture that finds a good balance between the need for food production and eco-system preservation. Among the goals are water conservation, minimizing or reducing to zero fertilizer/pesticide usage, and biodiversity promotion.
