Visit a farm in Jeolla-do, meet the animals
There is a range of wildlife species that exist around the world. Livestock, in particular, is the key to human survival. Amid rapid urbanization, however, the importance and existence of such domesticated animals has been somewhat forgotten over the past few years.
The Rural Development Administration (RDA) has come up with a new plan to raise awareness of the benefits that livestock brings to mankind. It’s the Hands-on Livestock Experience program, giving people, especially younger people, a chance to commune with animals and to learn more about their usefulness in our lives. There are also petting zoos where people can feed the animals and see them first-hand.
As part of this, the RDA recently recommended five of the best animal farms across the nation to visit this summer, giving visitors direct hands-on farm experiences.
Stock Farm With Seeds of Hope, Jeollabuk-do Province (North Jeolla Province)
The city of Namwon in Jeollabuk-do Province is home to the Stock Farm With Seeds of Hope, a farm compound nestled along the slopes of Jirisan Mountain. Located some 500 meters above sea level, it is home to flocks of goats that leisurely roam the grounds. Visitors to the farm are given the chance to play with and even milk the animals. They will then be able to taste fresh goat milk. They can make yogurt, cheese and other milk-based snacks, too.
