Selvans Social Farm

Social Farming Platform · Taoyuan, Taiwan

Every purchase your company makes
can become auditable social impact

in your sustainability report

Selvans Social Farm is a social farm platform in Daxi, Taoyuan, Taiwan. Together with 8 partner farms run by social-welfare organisations, it grows herbs, turns them into products, and hosts corporate volunteer days and family days.

Selvans connects eight social-welfare organisation farms into a single herb supply chain, where people with disabilities and people in mental-health recovery earn work and income. Whether you start with one gift box, one volunteer day, or an annual partnership — the impact is measured, reviewed and traceable.

Farms report weekly; figures count only after an administrator approves each report. A week with no report has no data — that gap cannot be filled in later, and we do not fill it.

Why a Shared-Value Partnership, Not a Data Purchase

The outcomes are yours

The data records the change your procurement, volunteer days and the Xishou Herb Partnership actually produced. Quarterly reports are issued in your company's name, and Employee Sustainability Days and the Xishou Herb Partnership also include drafted report sections. Selvans records and verifies — it does not sell you someone else's outcome.

Buying Power filing support

Selvans is registered in Taiwan's Ministry of Economic Affairs social innovation database, so procurement from us qualifies for Buying Power awards — and we help you complete the paperwork.

Boundaries stated up front

Every figure is marked as self-declared, document-backed or third-party identified, and comes with a full statement of what Selvans cannot yet support. An auditable figure earns its value from clear boundaries, not from being large.

Keeping Care in One Place

多數的社會服務是把人帶離原本的生活圈,訓練完再送回去。思凡反過來做:把工作帶到人所在的地方,讓社福機構在自己的土地上長出一條供應鏈。這樣的陪伴不會因為計畫結束而中斷,因為它本來就在那裡。

  • ✓農場開在機構所在的縣市,服務對象不必離開熟悉的環境
  • ✓種苗、技術與收購由思凡負責,機構不必先變成農業專家
  • ✓每一份工時都有人確認,成果寫得進企業的永續報告書

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Selvans Social Farm?

Selvans Social Farm (registered as Selvans Social Agriculture Development Enterprise) is a social farming platform founded in 2022 in Daxi District, Taoyuan, Taiwan. Selvans connects farms run by social-welfare organisations to grow herbs together, building a complete supply chain from cultivation through processing to sale. People with disabilities and those in mental-health recovery gain work and income on the farms, while every corporate purchase is converted into auditable ESG data.

What is a social farm, and how does it differ from an agritourism or organic farm?

Social farming combines agricultural production with social care: alongside growing crops, the farm delivers therapeutic, rehabilitative, educational and employment functions. Compared with agritourism, the core output of a social farm is employment and recovery for disadvantaged groups. Compared with organic farming, the difference is not the cultivation method but who works in the field — and how that work is recorded as disclosable social impact data.

Where is Selvans Social Farm located?

Selvans Social Farm is based in Daxi District, Taoyuan, Taiwan, while its partner social-welfare organisation farms are distributed across the country. Corporate visits, volunteer days and family days are usually held at the Daxi farm; the Xishou Herb Partnership is a three-year partnership with one social-welfare farm.

How large is Selvans? How many people take part?

Current public figures: Workdays by participants from disadvantaged backgrounds 1,644person-days; Social-welfare organisation farms in the supply chain 8farms; Participants in sustained, long-term engagement 71%; Hours of work by participants from disadvantaged backgrounds 8,528hours. These come from systematic weekly reporting by partner farms, checked report by report (with manual review where needed) and published on the Selvans sustainability dashboard. They are supply-chain totals, not any single company's results; to report farm outcomes in its own sustainability report, a company needs a long-term partnership such as the Xishou Herb Partnership, which yields figures attributed to that partnership.
