OUR STORY
Our concept is simple and straightforward: authentic and rational. As our slogan goes, "BE FRESH BE HEALTHY." We carefully take care of every detail and strive to create quality products for our customers.
YenTen Organic Farm nestled in Jianan Plain, approximately 23.5 degrees north latitude, where the temperature varies much from day to night, subsequently provides the ideal conditions for the crops to flourish.
BACK TO SIMPLE AND NATURAL
With innovative farming techniques (Environment Control System), we have conquered the obstacles along the way to go from traditional to quality agriculture. Adding in the science and technologies, we are able to grow pesticide-free Wood Ears and Ganoderma Lucidum.
From spawn production to harvesting, YenTen Organic Farm adopts one-stop production at all 5 farms and greenhouses to ensure the high quality results.
YenTen Farm was founded by Chen Yung-Shian in 1967. The farm originally started with a variety of mushrooms and Wood Ears farming. It was until 1985 when the Ganoderma Lucidum was added to the list.
In 1993, the fungi business was passed on to the next generation, Chen Chiang-Chien.
Along with prior dedication and efforts of the founder, YenTen Farm was entitled with the Top 10 Shennong Awards in 1996.
In collaboration with The Research Centre of Biotechnology Southern Taiwan University of Science and Technology (STUST) in 2000, Chen Chiang-Chien devoted in building the first plantation with Environment Control System (ECS) in the nation.
The cultivation house that adopts Environment Control System and substrate bag techniques was acquired in 2001, which enormously increases the production of Ganoderma Lucidum and Wood Ear mushrooms. Added to the continuous development, Chen Chiang-Chien successfully established high quality and values to the business. Through the collaboration with STUST, the new products with Nano-biotechnology were introduced to the health and nutrient line, such as Ganoderma Lucidum capsules and Wood Ear capsules.
In 2002, YenTen Biotechnology Co., Ltd. was founded. The business expands internationally with the sales channels reached numerous countries listed as Japan, USA, Austria, Indonesia, and Singapore. The company was then granted first place in Shennong Awards in 2003. Followed by being the first Wood Ear farm to acquire Certified Agricultural Standards (CAS) in Taiwan in 2004.
In 2006, the farm finished the construction of the second cultivation house with Environment Control System, covering a hectare of ground. Freshly picked Wood Ears started hitting shelves of wholesales and supermarkets.
In 2009, the third factory was constructed in the purpose of producing the fruiting substrate bags.
In pursuance of meeting the market needs, the forth cultivation house for Wood Ears and Ganoderma Lucidum was built in 2011, followed by the fifth within a couple of years.
With the establishment of the spawn laboratory in 2016, YenTen Organic Farm adopts one-stop production from spawn production to harvesting, ensuring the high quality results.
