Organic Tonics for Start of Winter: Water Garden Organic Farmers' Market Holds a Great Tonic Pill Tasting Event

Nourishing the Start of Winter Must Be Organic Water Garden Organic Farmers Market Hosts Start of Winter Great Tonic Organic Tasting Event

Do not tonify randomly at the Start of Winter, be careful that the more you tonify, the more you harm your body! The solar term begins on November 7 this year with the Start of Winter. To give health-conscious people a correct concept of tonifying at the Start of Winter, the Water Garden Organic Farmers Market will begin this Saturday (November 3) with a Start of Winter Organic Fruit and Vegetable Great Tonic Organic Tasting Event held for two consecutive Saturdays from 1:00-6:00 pm. On site, high-quality organic farms from all over Taiwan will provide natural seasonal fruits, vegetables, leaves, rice and tea bestowed by heaven around the Start of Winter solar term, offering fresh tasting activities of various organic ingredients of the Start of Winter solar term, so that people can have a healthy new concept of tonifying at the Start of Winter. Because the fruits and vegetables at the market are almost all harvested in the evening of the previous day, the taste of freshness is a flavor hard to taste in the general market.

In the ancient text "Collected Explanations of the Seventy-Two Seasonal Indicators of the Monthly Ordinances," the explanation of "winter" is: "Winter means ending, and all things are stored away," meaning that all autumn crops have been harvested and dried, stored in the granary, and animals have also hidden away to prepare for hibernation. According to information from the Council of Agriculture of the Executive Yuan, Taiwan's November fruits and vegetables are mainly carrots, bamboo shoots, cabbage, lettuce, garland chrysanthemum, white radish, yam, mustard greens, peas, pea shoots, lima beans, head lettuce, sweet peppers, corn, sweet potato, etc. Therefore, on the weekend when the Start of Winter solar term is about to arrive, the Water Garden Organic Farmers Market specially provides various freshest Start of Winter ingredients personally grown by organic farmers carefully selected from all over Taiwan and offered on site. It aims to give friends who value health, care about ecology, and support farmers the healthiest and happiest weekend afternoon.

Because many people nowadays are used to eating high-oil, high-salt foods and large amounts of meat and fish, and many ingredients now contain pesticides, chemical fertilizers, antibiotics, and hormones, winter tonifying more easily increases the body's burden. Also, among ordinary market ingredients, there are many imported seasonal ingredients that can be refrigerated for a long time or are not local, and these often do not match the local solar term and climate; after eating them, people's bodies adapt even less. Therefore, people are advised to make more use of sesame oil paired with vegetables and grains suitable for winter tonifying, such as cabbage, radish, yam, etc., to cook delicious and health-preserving meals.

The Water Garden Organic Farmers Market originally mainly belonged to a group of farmers from the NTU Organic Farmers Market, together with organic farmer friends carefully selected from all over the country who are especially dedicated and distinctive. Under the guidance and assistance of the Taipei Water Department, they jointly established and deeply cultivated the "Water Garden Organic Farmers Market" by the mist garden plaza in the Taipei Water Park, the only place in the Taipei area providing purely organic ingredients.

The market composition includes many distinctive organic small farmers from various places, including the on-site organic small farmer Pinglin Organic Tea Shifang Organic Farm, the 99 Peak top-grade organic asparagus of Chiou Shun-nan, who went from being a China Steel engineer to an asparagus expert, the Songyeyuan Organic Natural Farm run by Liang Xiao-ling, who abandoned medicine for farming, the top-grade organic emperor banana of Liu Huang-bin, who went from being a professional soldier to a banana expert, the top-grade organic pineapple of a pineapple expert who refused a doubled-price order from the mainland, the Lohas Organic Farm of an English teacher turned farmer, the honest man Ma Qing-gong, who switched from Advanced Semiconductor Engineering to organic jujube and guava, the Ougenli Organic Farm cultivated jointly by international volunteers, the red-fleshed dragon fruit of He Xin-le Organic Farm in the natural spring area of Zhuangwei, Yilan, the Daluolan Organic Fruit and Vegetable Farm that once sold out in one hour at NTU, the Gengmutian Organic Farm of cram school English teacher Zeng Wei-di, who switched to organic agriculture, the Chulu Organic Coffee that irrigates coffee fields with deep ocean water, the Wanyi Organic Farm carefully selected by the Pingtung Banana Research Institute, the Qingxinyuan Organic Farm specializing in cucumbers, the Baili Organic Farm specializing in organic lotus root and mango, the Canaan Organic Farm of the practice church organic village, Datong Organic Farm, the Grace Organic Farm whose main force is organic citrus fruits, the Sprout Baby Organic Farm with innovative refined planting, Gengji Organic Farm, Dou Zhi Wei Tofu Workshop... etc.

This is the story of a group of farmers changing Taiwan through natural farming friendly to the earth. And the end of the NTU Organic Farmers Market is the beginning of this story. When Taipei's only organic farmers market closed, it meant that a community linking land, ecology, farmers, and the dining table would brew a deeper force. The farmers, standing up by their own strength, rebuilt a groundbreaking new organic cultural market at the water garden in the NTU Gongguan commercial district.

The market invited sincerely excellent organic farmers from all over Taiwan and established the only farmer cultural market in the greater Taipei area that insists on pure organic. Each has their own persistence and dedication to farming methods, and many offer rare distinctive organic ingredients that are currently hard to see in general mass channels. The establishment of the market is precisely to meet more friends who cherish health, ecology, land, and local agriculture, and to jointly build a market community supporting sustainable agriculture and healthy ingredients.
