Farmers' Academy Helps Huang Guocang and Chen Meihe Successfully Change Careers

In the mountains of Ren'ai Township, Nantou County, there is a friendly, smiling couple who grow tea: Huang Guocang and Chen Meihe. Guocang had originally run a business in anti-theft surveillance equipment, but as the market shrank year by year in recent years, competition grew fierce, and the couple got older, they gradually began to entertain the idea of switching to farming. Since most of their relatives and friends grew tea, and they were optimistic about the prospects of the tea industry, the couple officially became tea farmers in year 96 of the Republic of China calendar, growing Ruanzhi Oolong tea.

Guocang and Meihe said that although the process of changing careers in midlife to become farmers is hard, they have bravely realized their dream step by step. For them, the Farmers' Academy is precisely the ladder that has led them to realize their dream. Guocang and Meihe want to share with everyone: as long as you are determined to farm, it is never too late to start!
