In
the belief of the harmonious coexistence between man and nature, Ktfarm Farmers'
Association has taken the three requirements of ecological environment, crop
production and farmers' lives into account. The cold-chain monitoring system
for a huge amount of purchases can balance the market’s supply and demand,
stabilize the farmers’ income and increase revenue. Moreover, its water caltrops
had earned the first TAP (Traceable Agricultural Products) certificate in
Taiwan, which helps gain a better insight of the guarantees of origin pricing
and push forward the employment of old farmers. In addition, the female farm
workers were even invited to cook outdoors to promote the local food.
Over 80% of every bite of water caltrops comes from Guantian District, Tainan City. The clear water from Wushantou Reservoir, year after year, has continuously provided great water source to irrigate each pond in the Disctrict. The Association promotes environmentally-friendly planting where wild jacanas can come to peck at their food, and join hands with farmers to breed this field of purple-red water caltrops. From plant selection, manual harvesting, decortication to packaging, more than ten recipes of water caltrops have been created for families to enjoy the flavor of it.
Water chestnut peeling is still mainly manually operated. The packaging design conveys how hard work of farmers to consumers.
台南市官田區農會本著人與自然和諧共存的信念，兼顧環境生態、農友生活的三好。透過冷鏈系統大量篩選購買，使市場供需平衡，穩定農友收入、增加收益，也讓菱角獲得全國第一張產銷履歷證明，更深入產地保價收購，促進老農就業，更邀集當地農婦外出料理，共同推展地方美味。
吃的每一口菱角，超過八成都來自台南市官田區。來自烏山頭水庫的清澈水源，經年不斷地提供優質水源，潺潺灌溉著官田每一池水塘。台南市官田區農會推行友善種植，讓野生水雉得以於此啄食，攜手農民共同孕育這紫紅色的生態水菱，從挑選種植、人工採收、剝殼到包裝，進一步開發10種以上各式菱角料理，讓好味道進入每個家庭的日常。
以人工方式將菱角剝殼，希望告訴消費者剝開後看見的是菱農辛苦去殼的菱角仁。
