Our Story
Jiazhu Farm is located in Beinan Township, Taitung County, Taiwan. Our founder, Liao Jia-zhu (3rd Cohort National Top 100 Young Farmer), left a senior engineering role at an electronics company in Taipei to return home, take over the farmland left by his grandparents, and begin his sustainable farming journey.
With a master’s in Horticulture and a bachelor’s in Electrical Engineering, he applied engineering systems thinking to agriculture โ from post-harvest handling to data analytics โ developing a unique low-carbon smart agriculture model.
๐ฟ Core Philosophy
“Treat your crops like your own children โ they cannot speak, but any condition will show on the plant.”
This philosophy guides our approach. No pesticides or herbicides โ we use cover-crop cultivation to restore soil vitality, and smart technology to improve management efficiency.
