The Agriculture Department of New Taipei City Government and Farmers’ Association of Shiding District mentored the Home Economics training course members. On Mother’s day, they launched the “Lingzhi Yuanbao dumpling” and “Lingzhi bamboo shoot Yuanbao dumpling.” Course members developed these products: Jia-Hou Yeh of Dream Book House and his mother, Huei-Feng Lee. They used local green bamboo shoots, Iberico ham, shallot, and mushrooms to make healthy cuisine, and they could be delivered home. (*Lngzhi: Ganoderma lucidum, reishi mushroom)

Farmers’ Association of Shiding District mentored the Home Economics training course members to run Tian Mama Cuisine Restaurants and invested in upgrading kitchen equipment and training guide volunteers last year. This year, it is expected to combine accessible travel experiences to develop the business of Regional Revitalization in Shiding. However, since the beginning of the year, the epidemic has dramatically affected the number of visitors. The Agriculture Department and the Farmers’ Association of Shiding District have assisted the training course members in gathering restaurant workforce and transforming to create new business opportunities for epidemic prevention; excellent food materials from villages along Shenkeng, Shiding, and Pingxi, for example, Lingzhi, mushrooms, green bamboo shoots, Shenkeng Iberico Ham and Pingxi shallot, are connected as series to develop and produce into frozen dumplings (commonly known as “Yuanbao” in Chinese). People can easily enjoy healthy and delicious New Taipei City agricultural products at home through the hotel channel and the frozen logistics system.
