The next morning after breakfast we
had a full day packed with activities.The first half of the day saw us at the DIY workshops baking cookies and
making fresh ice cream! The second half of the day was spent at the farm which
included a tractor ride around the farm, feeding the various animals on the
farm as well as milking the cow. Apart from the tractor ride and some of the
feeds which were payable, the scheduled animal feeds and activities were free.I’m glad my kids love nature and animals,
could see that they both enjoyed feeding and playing with the farm
animals! We took many lovely pictures at the ranch...

Storybooks with Sticker - great for pre-dinner wait
The drive from Hsinchu to Miaoli was
supposed to be about an hour but we took roughly about 1hr 30mins since the GPS
didn’t quite lead as correctly at one point and we ended up relying on the
signposts which eventually led us to the beautiful farm. I had earlier booked the cottage rooms with 2
double beds, via the farm’s website. Entry into the farm is free with the reserved accommodation.
We
stayed for 2 nights and I felt that was adequate since the farm area is quite big
and there were several activities to participate. It has 3 main areas the camping grounds, the
barn and animal area and the main restaurant area. Since the farm was fairly huge, the check in staff
was very detailed in explaining all the activities and restaurants in the farm. She even made a point to help mark out on the
farm maps for us. We had daily milk vouchers
and DIY workshop vouchers for our 3 Days 2 Nights stay. After checking into our rooms and
washing up we took the kids for a walk to explore the farm grounds. There was a playground which they enjoyed
before we headed for our hotpot dinner at the restaurant. The red restaurant served a special milk
broth hotpot. After dinner we took a nice stroll back to our room and joined in
the night activity of DIY baking session.
It was fun baking as a family and the fresh milk biscuits we made were
rather delicious. That ended our first
night at the ranch.
