Shinan County's Young Farmer Donates Lettuce, Spreading Hope in the Community
A young farmer in Shinan County is bringing warmth to the community through a generous donation of lettuce.
Lee Ji-hoon, CEO of Lee Farm in Aphae-eup, Shinan County, donated 150 boxes of European lettuce to the Shinan County Welfare Foundation on September 24th to help underprivileged neighbors and vulnerable groups in the area.
This act of sharing goes beyond a simple donation; it's a meaningful step towards spreading warmth and care throughout the local community.
The European lettuce, grown in a smart farm, boasts the highest quality.
The donated lettuce was cultivated at Mr. Lee's own smart farm, ensuring exceptional freshness and nutritional value.
The donated items will be distributed to vulnerable families through local welfare organizations, providing them with healthy food.
Lee Ji-hoon is a leading young farmer pioneering the future of agriculture.
In June 2025, Lee Ji-hoon completed a smart greenhouse of approximately 600 pyeong (about 1.98 acres) through the 'Youth Farmer Smart Farm Self-Reliance Base Construction Project'.
This facility has adopted an aeroponics system.
It reduces water consumption while stably producing high-quality crops, serving as a model for eco-friendly agriculture.
Furthermore, by using 100% Dutch seeds and directly establishing a separate germination room, Mr. Lee manages the germination process, establishing a consistent and stable production system.
This presents a higher-level quality management model for domestic agriculture.
Lee Ji-hoon is committed to agriculture that thrives in harmony with the local community.
In addition to this donation, Lee Ji-hoon supplies European lettuce salad to the Aphae Nonghyup local food direct sales store at reasonable prices, easing the burden on local residents' grocery bills.
Lee Ji-hoon stated, "I believe that agriculture is not simply about generating profits but is a foundation for communicating and growing with the local community."
He expressed his aspiration to continue pursuing agriculture that benefits everyone.
The passion and warm heart of this young farmer are strengthening the community.
This donation is more than just a supply of goods; it is a profound message of hope to the community.
We will actively support young farmers to establish themselves and grow.
