Around the Spring Festival is a good time to pick strawberries and cherry tomatoes. Driving the family through the ice and snow to enjoy the "spring" in the warm greenhouse is also a different experience in winter.
On the morning of February 1, the reporter walked into the modern agricultural industrial park of Caizi Town, Longxi County, and the continuous greenhouses were particularly eye-catching. Strawberries and cherry tomatoes that hang like small lanterns have a mouth-watering aroma. Tourists carry small baskets to shuttle back and forth between the ridges of the greenhouses, picking their favorite "sweetness".
I've heard from a friend that there is a strawberry farm here, and today I brought my children here to pick strawberries and experience the fun of labor. Wang Junwenle, a tourist who came to pick, said that it is much better to take children to experience the fun of picking than to watch TV at home.
Like Wang Junwen, there is an endless stream of people who drive from the county seat to pick, and most of them are "relatives and friends". They experience the joy of picking, taste delicious fresh strawberries, and enjoy the warmth and happiness of family or friends in the winter.
Tourist Li Xinyi's family came to pick after seeing the information of the picking garden from the circle of friends. "It's very close to the county seat, the environment is also very good, the strawberries are red and sweet, very refreshing! ”
The reporter learned that in the past two years, Shilipu Village, Caizi Town, has seized the opportunity of cooperation between Qingdao and Dingxi, and introduced Shandong Jinghui Agricultural Tourism Group to develop "Busan 88" cherry tomatoes and elevated strawberry planting, helping the revitalization of rural industries, and realizing the mutual benefit and win-win situation of agricultural enterprises and the stable increase of village collective income.
I work at the door of my home, and I can earn more than 2,000 yuan a month. Yan Lumin, a villager from Twenty Pu Village, Caizi Town, who has been working in the park for more than a year, told reporters.
At the same time, the three-shed "Busan 88" cherry tomatoes planted by Wen Xiaoyan, a greenhouse contractor at the base, have also been picked and marketed one after another. "This year, the early-hanging fruit I planted also yielded a lot of early, and there were many tourists who came to pick it in the shed, and the income was very good. ”
Like Wen Xiaoyan, there are 38 farmers who contract greenhouses in the park, and their cultivation technology and sales are all responsible for Shandong Jinghui Agricultural Tourism Agricultural Technology Group.
We have built 66 solar energy-saving greenhouses in Caizi Town, including 44 in Shilipu Village and 22 in Qianhe Village, which have directly led to the stable employment of more than 100 local people. Wu Jingkun, the person in charge of the industrial park, said that in the next step, the scale of cherry tomato planting will be expanded, the introduction of new varieties of cherry tomatoes that are higher and more stable in the market, enrich the product structure, further expand the terminal sales market of cherry tomatoes, and launch the "Long Xiaofan" trademark brand.
The booming development momentum of cherry tomatoes and small strawberries in the picking garden has become a big industry in Caizi Town that effectively drives agricultural efficiency, farmers get rid of poverty and increase income, and boosts rural revitalization. In the next step, the town will continue to focus on the development of modern agricultural advantageous leading industries, actively guide the masses to adopt new varieties, new technologies, and new models to plant off-season vegetables and fruits, continue to expand the planting scale of characteristic industries such as fruits and vegetables in solar greenhouses, and promote the development of characteristic industrial parks, scale, standardization, and branding, so as to truly achieve good quality, create good brands, and sell at good prices, effectively promote agricultural efficiency, increase farmers' income, and further drum up farmers' money bags.
