    The veteran farm owners, who take full responsibility from the beginning to the end of blueberry production, personally cultivate and harvest organic blueberries without pesticides, earning love and trust.

    Location Overview

    LOCATION INTRODUCTION

     

    ㅣ LOCATION:   SOUTH KOREA, JEJU ISLAND

     

    Recommended Travel Destinations

    1.Saryeoni Forest Trail

    Saryeoni Forest Trail is one of Jeju's hidden gems among its 31 scenic spots, named after the forest path that leads up to Saryeoni Oreum. 'Saryeoni' means to gently wrap and protect sacred groves or objects, and walking along this path allows you to fully immerse yourself in the refreshing scent of pine trees. Particularly popular with hikers, Saryeoni Forest Trail retains much of its original forested beauty. As you stroll, towering pine trees stretch towards the sky, creating cool, shaded spots with sunlight peeking through. If you're looking to rejuvenate your body and mind in Jeju's pristine air, this is a must-visit destination!

     

    2.Sangumburi

    Sangumburi is designated as Natural Monument No. 263 in Jeju Special Self-Governing Province, known for its volcanic crater called 'Gumburi'. Unlike other parasitic volcanoes, Sangumburi features a large crater and serves as a botanical garden where various rare plants coexist in one space. The path to the top is gentle, making it easy to reach the summit quickly. Particularly in autumn, many tourists flock to Sangumburi to witness the golden waves of silver grass in full bloom. However, it's a great destination to visit in any season, as each season brings forth different plants, creating new landscapes.

     

    3.Udo

    Udo, named for its resemblance to a reclining cow, is also known as Cow Island or She Island. It is a representative satellite island of Jeju known for its gentle slopes, abundant fisheries, and natural wonders such as the Udo Eight Scenic Views. Tourists visiting Udo often flock to attractions like Hongjodangoe Beach, where hard corals break to form white sandy beaches, Hagosudong Beach famous for its wide sandy shores and blue sea, Udobong Peak for panoramic views of Udo, and Geommeolle Beach. Besides enjoying the natural landscapes, visitors can engage in activities like sea fishing, cycling, submarine tours, and pleasure boat rides for added fun. However, please check the weather forecast in advance as ferry operations may vary depending on the weather conditions!
