The perfect place in Yilan for the whole family to laugh together

What kind of place makes kids laugh out loud and adults snap photos non-stop? I believe "Grandma Zhang's Farm" is that magical little paradise that brings joy to everyone.

Located in Dongshan, Yilan, this farm is not as commercialized as large tourist ranches, nor is it just a simple photo spot. It feels more like a small haven lovingly managed by a kind elder, home to a group of friendly animals and the warmest hospitality.

🦙 One of Taiwan's farms with the most adorable animals, offering close interactions that are truly healing
As soon as you step into the farm, you're surrounded by a lineup of animals waiting to be fed: alpacas, miniature horses, capybaras, raccoons, sika deer, lambs, ostriches... Over 10 types of animals, all trained to be very friendly and gentle, making it safe even for young children to interact with them.

🌽 The farm provides feeding tools like fodder, carrot sticks, and hay. Just hold some food, and the animals will eagerly approach you, letting you experience the joy of being "surrounded by cuteness."

Highly recommended for families with kids—this place will have children playing to their heart's content, while parents can enjoy relaxing moments interacting with the animals.

📷 A perfect spot for photos from morning till evening, every shot filled with natural charm
The farm is full of Instagram-worthy scenes:
Animal pathways × white picket fences
Forest boardwalk × hydrangea clusters
Transparent bubble chairs
Cute illustrated signposts

Plus, every animal willingly approaches the camera and poses, making every photo adorable. Even couples or friends can capture a whole set of natural countryside-themed photos.

🍠 Hands-on rural experiences × Yilan-style snacks, adding a touch of local flavor to your trip
Beyond animal interactions, the farm occasionally offers DIY sweet potato ball-making and rural snack experiences, letting you enjoy the true "fun of a hands-on farm." The farm also sells traditional snacks, popsicles, and drinks, so you can recharge and keep exploring.

If you're lucky enough to meet Grandma Zhang herself, you might hear her share the story of how the farm was founded, realizing that this is not just a farm but a reflection of heritage and dreams.
