樺鄉咖啡莊園 Hua Xiang Cafe

樺鄉咖啡莊園一直是我們田心12號的私房景點，來住宿的旅客如果想到山上走走+喝杯好咖啡，我們一定推薦這裡。樺鄉成立於民國88年，是由一對年輕小夫妻返鄉創立的。除了自己栽種咖啡，莊園裡的木造景觀都是由咖啡先生一木一釘打造起來，處處可見小倆口的用心。在這裡除了簡單的人口，他們還收編了許多可愛的流浪小動物(貓貓狗狗天竺鼠...之類)，讓整個莊園充滿生氣。也建置了一條咖啡走廊，讓客人可以透過說明了解咖啡的生態。

莊園裡每個設施都經過精心設計，同時備有免費無線上網，並附上QR條碼，隨時可以探索每個作品的故事。室內到處點綴著他們旅行時一路蒐集的小玩意兒，每樣都值得細細欣賞。夫妻倆非常同心協力，只為了把最好喝的咖啡，好吃的餐點和最美麗的風景帶給大家。不過由於人手有限，為了維護優良的服務品質，去之前最好先打個電話確認；有時候客人太多需要等待，也請務必體諒包容，因為小小的等候絕對是值得的。

Hua Xing Cafe is always our favorite place to go, and we certainly do introduce our guests to visit there for great mountain view and decent coffee. It was established in 1999, hosted by a lovely young couple who returned to hometown to start their newlywed life. Besides growing and baking their own coffee, the whole restaurant is also built by their bare hands. All the carpentry works are delicately done by Mr. Coffee. They also take care of many stray animals, a dog and several cats and guinea pigs, the garden is full of vitality. They built a coffee aisle with illustration to introduce the life circle of coffee which is very educational.

Every facility is carefully designed and installed. They offer free wifi and  set QR code everywhere for you to explore the story behind. Inner decor is full of cute and special souvenirs collected from their trips. The husband and wife work hard together only to bring the best coffee, food and significant view for you. Please do call in advance before visiting, they have few staff and sometimes require waiting. But trust me, it is worth to wait.

Makeover Tuesday- 古坑民宿「田心12號」菜園 Garden

從照片後面的圍牆彩繪就可以證明，這真的是還沒整理之前的菜園。田心12號的菜園中間有一口井，記得很小的時候，前院還沒有所謂的菜園，每天早上村子裡的婦女都會聚集在井邊，一邊洗衣服一邊聊天。後來自來水方便了，住戶圍牆規劃起來，這片可以用井水灌溉的菜園，就變成了阿祖阿嬤自給自足的小天地。老長輩相繼辭世之後，雖然菜園有借給鄰居耕作，但大部分還是雜草叢生，或者放任生長變成一大叢，需要仔細整理一番，才能符合我們需要的規模。尤其是水井周圍的磚籬需要加高，否則每次一下雨，泥水便偃塞成小池塘(就差幾條錦鯉就可以賣魚飼料賺小費了，哈哈)。

除草工作也很繁複，常常這邊除完，另一頭又長出來... 最辛苦的就是爸爸，拿著鋤頭鬆土、整出一塊塊小區域，再分批栽植我們喜愛的蔬菜、香料植物，還得不厭其煩地抓菜蟲、施肥。看著種子成為幼苗，幼苗開始茁壯，開花、結果，一直到收成，經過媽媽的好手藝成為美味健康的盤中飧，原本像個小叢林的菜園，終於成為名符其實的「開心農場」！

From the old wall painting in the back of the first picture, it was how it looked like of the original garden of Sweet House No.12. There is a well in the garden. And I remembered that many women in this village would come here for laundry and chatting every morning when I was a child. After the water supply were set, fence were built, this area became self-satisfied garden for my great grandma and grandma as it could be watered by the well. It has been abandoned after they passed away, although there was a neighbor came to plant her own vegetables, it was still overgrown of the weeds. Especially the well area, it would become a small pond after raining every time.

Weeding is an annoying, iterant job, they just never stop growing! Dad earns all credit by spending so much time and efforts on it. From weeding to planting, he organized the garden into several areas to seeding all different kinds of veges and spices that we like.  Looking those baby sprout growing bigger and bigger everyday, turn into flower, turn into fruits...turn into Mom's recipe :) We are so grateful to every meal we have on table!
