原菇鄉的「鄉」是回鄉的「鄉」
How can we return home?
在新竹尖石鄉, 蘊含著得天獨厚的景觀資源和生態環境。除了有名的巨木群所帶來旅遊業的發展,這片土地是否可以有什麼不一樣的可能?
過去看著越來越多的青年離鄉別井到城市打拼,因此有了以「菇類」產業為核心,一步步在部落開始了名為「原菇鄉」的品牌,希望將來產業能成功吸引青年回來,將屬於這片土地的文化和智慧能傳承下去。
Jianshi Township in Hsinchu contains unique landscape and diverse ecological environmental resources. Not only the tourism developed well in Qalang Smangus where the place protect famous giant trees but also we cannot neglect any possibility that other village can be created.
We saw more and more young people leaving their hometowns to work in the cities. In order to change this situation, we created a brand called “tatcgugu” in the tribe with the mushroom industry as the core. We hope that the industry will be develop successfully to attract young people to come back and pass on the knowledge and culture onto the next generation as well.
小小的菇大大的力量
Tiny mushroom with infinity possibility
不管是生產、行銷包裝到食農教育所累積下來的經驟及辛酸,我們都積極與其他部落的族人分享。同時透過把辛苦種出來的香菇加工成不同的產品, 如柴燒香菇貢丸、香菇肉燥等,增加其價值和獨特性,並傳遞更多的生活想法和地方故事。
我們相信再微小的力量,只要慢慢用心串聯,長期累積下來便可以展現出不可忽視的力量,和族人們共同為青年開出一條回鄉的路。
To improve the lives of indigenous people in the villages and create more job opportunines, we are being a great supporter of education and share the experience and skill of planting, marketing and food production to people from different village in Jianshi. We are also processing shiitake mushrooms into different products such as shiitake mushroom meatballs and minced pork with shiitake mushrooms which are very common dish in Taiwanese family. By selling shiitake mushroom and related products, making “mushroom” becoming one of the best source of income in our region and let more people to understand our concepts and this beautiful place.
We believe that no matter how small the power we have, we can become powerful to elevate our communities if we connect each other and work together with the same purpose.
