Visit a farm in Chungcheong-do
There is a range of wildlife species that exist around the world. Livestock, in particular, is the key to human survival. Amid rapid urbanization, however, the importance and existence of such domesticated animals has been somewhat forgotten over the past few years.
The Rural Development Administration (RDA) has come up with a new plan to raise awareness of the benefits that livestock brings to mankind. It’s the Hands-on Livestock Experience program, giving people, especially younger people, a chance to commune with animals and to learn more about their usefulness in our lives. There are also petting zoos where people can feed the animals and see them first-hand.
As part of this, the RDA recently recommended five of the best animal farms across the nation to visit this summer, giving visitors direct hands-on farm experiences.
San-Deul-Ba Stock Farm, Chungcheongnam-do Province
Taean-gun County in Chungcheongnam-do (South Chungcheong Province) is home to a special animal home. In the Taean Byeotgari Village there lies the San-Deul-Ba Stock Farm, surrounded by green mountains and chestnut trees.
The farm is home to many kinds of domesticated farm animals, ranging from chickens and dogs through to rabbits and goats. Visitors can feed the animals and even watch ostriches or poultry, such as chickens, ducks and geese, lay their eggs up close.
A five-minutes’ walk away from the farm is the sea coast, allowing visitors to enjoy beach activities in the salt fields and wetlands.
