With the Spring Festival approaching, Li Shizhong, secretary of the general party branch of Zijiaqiao Village, Xinshidu Town, Heshan District, and the village cadres are busier than usual. They are either helping to greet guests in the township farm run by the village collective, or they are contacting the villagers to send local goods such as pheasants, eggs, jar vegetables, honey and so on. "It's almost the Chinese New Year, and there are a lot of orders, all of which are based on the good quality of farmers' self-raising and self-made. On January 25, Li Shizhong prepared the gift box according to the specific requirements of the customer, and pointed to the agricultural products display area of Xiangchuang Farm to introduce it. The reporter saw that there are a dazzling array of agricultural products here, including nearly 20 kinds of preserved fish, preserved chicken, bamboo shoots, native eggs, honey, tea seed oil, etc., and each type of agricultural product has a unified packaging and gift box. Li Shizhong introduced that most of the products here come from the village, and all of them are products of the courtyard economy.
In recent years, the village has developed a courtyard economy relying on the township farm, mobilizing the villagers to make full use of the idle land in front of the house and behind the house to plant melons, fruits and vegetables, and breed pheasants, ducks, bees, etc. The skillful villagers give full play to their expertise and make farm products such as artemisia baba, sweet potato chips, beans, and chili peppers. All products are purchased and packaged by the village, and then sold with the help of the Xiangchuang Farm platform. "I never imagined that I could sell my produce at my doorstep, and at the end of the year, I could make a lot of money from the output in the fields. Since the second half of last year, he has sold more than 250 kilograms of honey, plus the pheasants and eggs he sold, earning nearly 30,000 yuan.
By fully mobilizing the masses of the village and the surrounding villages to develop the courtyard economy, at present, there are nearly 100 households in Zijiaqiao Village, and more than 200 farmers in Xiangchuang Farm radiating planting and breeding, and only selling "local goods" such as pheasants, eggs, and jar vegetables, farmers can achieve an average annual income increase of about 3,000 yuan.
During the interview, the reporter found that not only Ziqiao Village, but also most of the villages in the town have courtyard economic "fist" products, such as grapes, yellow peaches, ** tea in Jumping Stone Village, lotus seeds and grapefruit in Jianxin Village, bamboo shoots in Yanghe Village, and mats in Ougongdian Village, all of which have a large number of loyal fans. The reason why the courtyard economy of Xinshidu Town can continue to heat up is due to the fact that the town has revitalized resources according to local conditions, continuously improved the industrial layout of "one village, one product", and skillfully combined "rural tourism + beautiful house + picking economy".
In recent years, Xinshidu Town has made full use of the red resources of Zhou Yang's former residence and Zeng San's former residence to launch a "longing for pastoral life" rural tourism boutique route; Taking advantage of the opportunity to build beautiful houses in the whole district, the "most beautiful series of cultural corridors" are connected to three beautiful houses such as Chuanxingwan, and while improving the living environment, a large number of wall paintings full of rural interest are used to create unique rural tourism Internet celebrity check-in points; Vigorously support farmers to use grapes, yellow peaches, pomelos and other fruits to plant grapes, yellow peaches, grapefruit and other fruits in front of and behind the house to create a regional brand of "picking economy"; Encourage farmers to transform existing courtyards into characteristic homestays, leisure farms, and small picking gardens, and continuously improve the economic popularity of courtyards. The implementation of a series of pragmatic measures has finally converged into the main line of increasing the income of the masses, and now, the idle land in front of the villagers' houses has become a treasure land for increasing income.
