當今的科技建構了學子們的世界，雖有如同雲端高的視野，卻摸不著眼下土地溫滿的邊。於是多年前，一群熱愛這個海島之國的中堅份子，開啟了雲端農夫體驗活動的契機，帶著學子們親近友善耕作的土地。一夥人因而來到阿燈的田，赤腳踏識沃野片片。
學生們憩坐寮邊，映著天空的水田，一朵白雲從田角浮進。農耕生活的甘與苦，如冬天褪鞋踩水蒔田的刺激冷冽，也如夏天赤足行於豐收畦間的興奮熱烈。學子細細體驗，深深學習。迎著天，立著地，農人看著孩子們長成了大自然賦予的樣子。
多年後，阿燈承接了雲端農夫®的願景，轉化成在地活動品牌，開放田園、迎接各類食農體驗的機會，帶領更多學子們熟悉這片餵養我們的美好土地，也歡迎親子們於歡樂中，了解農業的點點滴滴。
栽種，而後分享；分享，而後傳承；傳承，而後永續。
如此而已。

農家Homestay，是一種生活態度和價值觀的交換，我們開放田園，讓大家來體驗，除了能夠聽到不一樣的觀點（畢竟農人實在沒什麼時間在外面到處跑，所以更要努力和社會保持互動關係），希望藉由這樣的實務機會，讓更多人了解農業生產的現實，進一步擴大對這個行業的了解。農務並不浪漫，但你的心態或許可以是浪漫的。我們暗自期許這將會是個能夠接納各種多元機會的小小天地。因此，想要體驗農村生活或暫時喘口氣，或者是想要進一步從生活中了解農業的朋友們，都歡迎來體驗換宿。（然而，極度害怕昆蟲或動物的朋友，請三思。農村一定有蟲蟲的）
我們一次最多接待3~4人（從每個招募志工的管道，我們有不同的人數規定），最短三四天、最長兩週 （但若有特殊體驗或志工活動專案，則人數和時間另訂），如何抵達工廠，請看交通方式/OurSite。農務時間不一定，看天氣也看工作內容，總之我們是很好商量的，但實際狀況還是要以真正勞動時，才知道如何調配。
然而，如果你真的是想了解農業，而不是蜻蜓點水式的體驗（而且是真的要體會到我們的生活和工作步調），那麼建議至少要待15天以上。如果你有這個意願，我們很歡迎你和我們一起討論細節。
吃住都由我們提供，住在大通鋪。有時可能會需要來換宿的幫手來料理三餐，目前工場正在進行整理，所以整個地方看起來會亂亂的。但基本的生活設備都有，我們會盡最大的努力讓幫手們住得舒服。不過建議可帶個人防蚊或防曬的東西喔。
但是因為這邊偶爾有朋友或學生來玩或來幫忙，所以隨時要有和別人分享房間的心理準備喔。
想來體驗的朋友，請直接從粉絲團寫訊息喔~~~
農糧小舖永遠歡迎你！

Farming in environmental friendly way always require intense loading of manpower. At our site, there might be different projects or work on going at any time. Someitmes we need people to work with us on farmland while sometimes we need more hands helping us with rice packages, or even sometimes help us clean the site. However, we never intend to exploit your effort. All we wish is that by offering the opportunities for people to practice in farming, more people would be getting to know more about this industry and the career as a farmer. Farming is never romantic, but you could do it with a romantic mindset. Nevertheless, we also expect ourselves to be benefited from your dedication in work, so that we could have more time and energy to plan creative cultivation projects or other farming-experiencing activities open to the public.
By offering cultural exchange opportunities, we expect our farm become where good things could happen, and someday turn into a small universe allowing all different kinds of possibilities. Thus, whoever wants to experience farming, to take a rest from the hustle and bustle life, to try different work challenges, or to know more about agriculture, you are the most welcome here. Even for those who wants to know about veg farming and CSA operation, we are all glad to share our experience with you.
We can host at most 3~4 people at the same time, from 3 or 4 days to two weeks. Actual work schedule is very flexible but subject to weather and work loads. (However, during the busiest time we'll allow longer stay.)
Food and accommodation provided. However, sometimes helpers will be asked to prepare meals if we are too busy. Helpers will need to share one dormitory room. We are now re-organizing our work site so the place is a bit messy for now. Basic appliances are provided and we'll do our best to make you feel comfortable.
However, sometimes friends or students might come to visit us or to work with us, and if they want to stay overnight everyone will have to share the room.
If you want to come, please mail to Yi-hsin at yam2aster@gmail.com Or just ring at +886-916-335-213 (0916-335-213)
