Have you ever tried adopting fruit trees or rice crops in Zhoushan? Recently, a ranch in Putuo's Xia Zhi Town introduced a novel experience: cloud adoption of island black hogs. This innovative approach merges island ecological farming with digital adoption models, allowing residents to adopt, observe, and share hogs online from the comfort of their homes, unlocking a fresh agricultural consumption experience.
The newly launched adoption model is convenient and transparent. For a payment of 1,000 yuan, consumers can adopt an island black hog. Once the hog reaches maturity, settlement is based on a price of 30 yuan per jin for dressed meat, with a full set of pork by-products included as a bonus. This enables adopters to enjoy dividends and share gourmet delights.
By searching for the "Hog Partner" mini-program, users can quickly access the adoption page, which features 24-hour real-time monitoring. Adopters can use their phones to view the entire ranch, feeding areas, and daily growth activities of the piglets anytime, anywhere. This allows for full supervision of the breeding process and a firsthand experience of ecological farming.
Chen Ming, the head of Gou Tou Jing Ranch, explained that leveraging the island's ecological advantages, the ranch has built an original island ecological farm. "Launching the online adoption model aims to bring the entire ecological farming process to the cloud, ensuring consumers feel assured about what they see and eat," Chen said.
The adoption mini-program also offers various personalized services. Adopters can name their piglets, customize exclusive tags, and witness their growth from infancy to maturity. They also enjoy one-on-one private customization services, tracking the hog's health and breeding progress throughout. In their leisure time, adopters can visit the island ranch to interact closely with their adopted piglets, immersing themselves in the joys of island rural life.
At the end of the year, when the hogs are ready for slaughter, adopting families can visit the ranch to participate in the butchering and meat-sharing process, savoring fresh and authentic island black pork firsthand.
According to relevant officials from the Municipal Agriculture and Rural Affairs Bureau, Gou Tou Jing is the only agricultural entity in the city to establish a complete local specialty hog industry chain covering "breeding—farming—end sales." The launch of the "Hog Partner" adoption mini-program breaks down traditional barriers in agricultural product information, enabling visual traceability of the entire farming process. This provides consumers with safe, fresh, and high-quality original island pork while further expanding the sales channels for island specialty agricultural products. It also enhances the quality and efficiency of the entire chain of island "local specialty wealth," creating a new model for the integrated development of agriculture and tourism in Zhoushan.
Currently, dozens of residents have initiated cloud adoptions through the "Hog Partner" mini-program. Are you tempted by this cloud hog-raising experience?
