Happy Farmers in the City

Jingmei Market is the largest traditional market in the Jingmei area of Taipei. Stallholders sell a wide variety of goods, including vegetables, chickens, ducks, and fish, either sourced from wholesale markets or self-produced.

In the market, one of the stallholders next to Jinxing Temple sells organic vegetables, all grown by the owner's own family - their garden is located at Mt. Xiaogetou in Xindian. Because the vegetables are grown without the use of pesticides or chemical fertilizers, many customers like to buy from this stall, which is owned by a husband and wife. They come to the stall at 7 a.m. and sell out before 11 a.m. Following this, they go home and take care of their vegetable garden.

Each morning, the stall has a vast selection of vegetables to meet the needs of its customers. Working diligently to grow and sell their own organic produce, this happy farming couple has successfully created a thriving business providing home-grown food to city dwellers.

都市裡的快樂農家

  景美觀光商圈是台北市景美地區最大的傳統市場，市場內攤商販售的貨品多樣化，生活所需用品都有。早市通常以賣蔬菜和雞鴨魚肉為主，攤商的貨品來源，有的是批來的，有的是自產自銷。

  在市場裡進興宮左側一排攤商中，有一家是賣有機蔬菜，這些菜都是老闆自家人種的，菜園在新店小格頭。因蔬菜不用農藥不用化肥，很多消費者都喜歡到這夫妻倆經營的攤位購買。早上7點多來擺攤，11點不到就賣完了，回家又要去照顧菜園。

  早上，攤架上滿滿的蔬菜，滿足了許多消費者的需求。夫妻倆胼手胝足自產自銷生意興隆，這就是都市裡的快樂農家。
