Female doctor at Aka Farm

Jiang Yuhong, CEO of Aka Farm, North Sixth Ring Road, a suburb of Beijing. This gentle and beautiful woman used to be an elite in the IT field and a doctor of management at Cambridge University. A few years ago, she gave up superior conditions and generous treatment and started a modern new farm, which is famous far and near. Today, logos of Oracle Bone Inscriptions, Microsoft China, IBM, Standard Chartered Bank, Ford, FAW-Volkswagen and other heavyweight companies are posted on the famous brand in front of Aka Farm, and 200 of the world's top 500 enterprises have settled in this farm.

Jiang Yuhong was born in a senior intellectual family in Shanghai. He holds a master's degree in economics and marketing from Birmingham University and a doctorate in management from Cambridge University. He used to be an executive of Dell Greater China, and after returning to China, he started his own cloud service company. At that time, her daily job was to organize employees to write code, build a server platform and do big data analysis. She never thought that she would be engaged in agriculture and become a veritable farmer one day, but her son, the Big Apple, changed all this.

20 10 Jiang Yuhong is pregnant. As a mother-to-be, she will pay special attention to everything related to children. Because she lives in the countryside, it is convenient to visit the countryside. Jiang Yuhong often visits some organic vegetable bases, but none of them allow her to visit. What you can see is that the workers in the workshop are packing vegetables, but you can't see the production process. This made Jiang Yuhong sigh: "Now people are more willing to do some superficial things in agriculture, even if the vegetables in the supermarket cost tens of dollars a catty, people are not at ease."

Jiang Yuhong thought, then plant it yourself. So she and her husband began to grow vegetables, wheat, fruit trees, chickens and cattle in Shunyi's home. All vegetables, fruits, meat, eggs and milk are self-sufficient, and the yard is like a pocket farm.

At first, Jiang Yuhong invited friends to work at home on weekends, and the reward was the vegetables in the field. Jiang Yuhong often has this idea. With the birth and growth of his son's big apple, watching him pull up a carrot from the ground in the yard to eat, drilling into the henhouse every morning to find eggs, herding sheep and milking, spreading joy in the wheat field, climbing hawthorn trees, shaking the fruit all over the floor ... Just thinking about it, my heart is as beautiful as nothing! Recalling her friends' unparalleled happiness every time they picked the freshest fruIT from the fruit tree, harvested wheat and ground their own flour, she realized that it was more meaningful to let more people eat safe food than to do IT work, so Jiang Yuhong came up with the idea of making this idyllic experience into a project.

20 1 1 At the end of the year, after consultation, she rented a 500-mu greenhouse in Baishan Town, Changping and began to build a real urban farm. 20 12 65438+ 10/0/5, Akka Farm officially started sowing. In the early days of running a farm, she will also be busy with cloud computing companies. But slowly, she found that too much knowledge was needed to turn the farm into a modern agricultural base with characteristics. So she left the IT company to her husband to take care of, studied books such as "Millennium Farmers" and visited many agricultural experts to study the planting methods of modern agriculture. Soon, Jiang Yuhong, who had never been exposed to agriculture and could not tell the difference between leeks and wheat seedlings, became a senior agronomist.

If you want to do it, you must do your best. The purpose must be not to use pesticides, hormones and fertilizers, to refuse genetic modification, to respect nature, and to plant safe and secure agricultural products with heart. Many of this young team are old friends of Jiang Yuhong. The first person to be pulled up was Dong Xiaoyan, the head of farm personnel. At that time, Xiaoyan worked for Diamond Bird in the most luxurious building on Dawang Road, selling luxury goods. When Jiang Yuhong asked Xiaoyan to sell vegetables, Xiaoyan thought she was joking. The packaging of agricultural products needs special design, so Jiang Yuhong found a designer friend Zhao Lei who works in 4A advertising company. As a designer who is active in the fashion world, Zhao Lei was very surprised when he received a phone call from Jiang Yuhong for the first time and replied, "Food?" Jiang Yuhong told him: "Do you know what is the most fashionable now? Agriculture is the most fashionable! " It is not enough to have professional packaging, but also someone needs to check the quality, so she invited Shi Airu, a professional from the Academy of Agriculture and Forestry Sciences, to take charge of scientific research.

Jiang Yuhong tried his best to attract all the awesome people around him that he could think of. It seems that everything is ready, but her career has been opposed by her family. "Send you to Cambridge to study, not to let you go to the farm! You are Kochi! " Jiang Yuhong's mother is a well-known doctor in Shanghai. She sneers at her daughter's "doing nothing". In order to convince her mother, Jiang Yuhong took her to the farm to experience. When she saw so many families happily picking vegetables on the farm, she was deeply infected and felt that her daughter was really doing something valuable, and she was slowly relieved.

On 20 12 65438+ 10/5, aka farm welcomed its first big customer, Oracle Bone Inscriptions company. In Aka's original shed 16, 12 was for the families of employees of Oracle Bone Inscriptions Company. These greenhouses are rented by Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and are used as gardens built by the team, and employees are regularly organized to pick them. Jiang Yuhong said: "At a time when food safety has attracted much attention, employees of foreign companies like Oracle Bone Inscriptions especially want to get close to nature and release pressure. At such a time node, our Aka just appeared, as simple as that. "

In the winter of 20 12, it was very cold in Beijing on the 28th of the twelfth lunar month. The farm has been on holiday, and all the employees have gone home to prepare for the Spring Festival. It suddenly snowed that night. At dawn the next day, Jiang Yuhong woke up from bed, thinking that vegetables would be frozen by heavy snow, and there were tomatoes that were about to bear fruit in the shed! She came to the farm without breakfast, but she was shocked by what she saw: the employees who had returned home gave up their rest and came to the farm spontaneously, and the farm manager Gao Feng returned all the train tickets they had bought hard. They are busy pulling up the snow-covered grass in the greenhouse. The grass covered with snow is heavy. In the cold weather, everyone is full of white gas, but they are still doing it enthusiastically. This can move Jiang Yuhong badly: "I know my team doesn't just regard this as a business."

Career and family, for many women in the workplace, most of them can't have both. When you are busy with work, you don't care about your children. But it doesn't seem difficult for Jiang Yuhong. She has her own way of balancing work and family.

When the Big Apple was born, Jiang Yuhong's farm had just started. Busy every day, the big apple needs breastfeeding. What should I do? Jiang Yuhong can only take her children to the farm and wait in the car with her grandmother. She comes downstairs to feed every three hours and goes upstairs for a meeting after feeding.

The child is a little older. On Saturday and Sunday, Jiang Yuhong will try to take the big apple with him. When she is busy, the big apple will squat down and play by herself. Jiang Yuhong said: "As long as he feels your presence, he will feel safe. It doesn't matter even if you don't talk to him. Although you are busy or talking about other things, he will think you are safe. "

At the same time, Big Apple is also observing how mother works, how to communicate with people and how to establish interpersonal relationships. He will also learn a lot from it. Jiang Yuhong often said to him: "Mom is not your mother alone, but the mother of many people. You have to help your mother take care of the other children. " Then he came to the farm on Saturday and Sunday. When he saw other children, he would take the initiative to help and say hello. He also took them to see small animals and pull out carrots together. During the summer vacation, Big Apple will seriously and responsibly complete the tasks assigned by her mother, such as watering the tree pit, feeding chickens and picking up eggs. At that time, Apple was only two years old, small and weak, but he was responsible for watering all dozens of tree pits. He had to drag the hose for watering and pour it into a tree pit. He just squatted there and watched this tree pit full before watering another tree pit. "This allows children to be committed, hospitable and know how to share. These qualities that may not be found in many children living in cities will be found in him. " This makes Jiang Yuhong feel very gratified.

When chatting with the big apple, Jiang Yuhong likes to squat. He squatted for a long time several times, and even flashed his waist when he got up. Because she feels that squatting with the child is positive and will make the child feel equal. To her, he is an independent individual and needs to be respected. "Children have their own ideas and try to understand things from his world. He is not his mother's private property. I just have this fate with him-in this life, he calls me mom and I call him son. We just have this fate. " Jiang Yuhong said.

One morning, Big Apple was ready to go out to school. His clumsy little hand grabbed the shoes on his left foot and put them on his right foot, but he didn't realize that they were put on backwards. This happened to be seen by Jiang Yuhong who walked to the door. She didn't rush to correct him, but said, "Apple, are you uncomfortable in this?" Would it be more comfortable for you to exchange these two? Have you noticed the appearance of this shoe? "The big apple listened to her mother and gestured with her shoes. The second time, she really put it on.

Talking about educational methods, Jiang Yuhong said: "I will give him some choices, and finally he will judge for himself. If he finally sticks to his original choice, don't interfere or make a decision for him. Because people will make countless mistakes in their lives. Some parents don't allow their children to make mistakes. I always allow them to make mistakes. The wrong experience will make him understand many things. "

In spring, vegetables grow wantonly in the greenhouse, and lambs gnaw at the roses on the edge of the vegetable garden; In winter, snowflakes spread the wheat fields into lawns, and big apples play football on them. Everything looks so beautiful. Jiang Yuhong said: "Only people who love life very much can love my job, because my job is my life."

This is another sky outside the cement forest and the wall package. What you can experience here is another way of life. But this doesn't mean that this way of life will disappear after leaving here. Jiang Yuhong encourages everyone to take this lifestyle home. Even in their own homes, they can plant flowers and vegetables on the balcony and build a small balcony farm. Or you can put a pot of plants on the table and grow a carrot. In this way, in addition to walking into the office every day, drinking a cup of coffee and reading endless emails on the computer, you can see the wanton growth of life when you look up.

On the farm, you can also learn how to make leftover peels into enzymes, which can be used to wash dishes and clean toilets without buying detergent. This not only keeps away from chemicals, but also makes life more environmentally friendly, green and healthy. This concept of life is reflected in the dribs and drabs of life, and it is also a reproduction of lifestyle. Now Jiang Yuhong enjoys her job very much, and she also finds that many hobbies can be integrated into her work.

Jiang Yuhong's family, grandpa's uncle, has been collecting since her generation, so she likes the traditional culture of China since she was a child. The Aka direct farm she plans to build in Hangzhou will incorporate many original elements and cultural creativity. They will invite some famous local artists and designers to help them explore the handicrafts and works there. For example, bamboo can be made into bamboo braids, which will be fine works of art after redesign, which will not only enhance the value of agricultural products, but also make the farm content more yuan. "These things are wonderful, but they are hard to get in life, but you can integrate these hobbies into your career. Including in Beijing, we also have special artists stationed on the farm to present China traditional art and China cutting-edge art. In fact, these are my hobbies. "

She will also participate in some public welfare activities with her husband, so that the children of left-behind children and migrant children can get more help from enterprises and social welfare organizations through matchmaking. She shed tears when she saw those motherless children. As a mother, she knows how painful it is for children without their mother's care, so she is willing to help them. She warmly invited the children to come to the farm to cultivate and communicate with caring enterprises and social welfare organizations in the fields provided by Aka Farm. When the harvest is over, the farm will send fresh green vegetables to the children's school canteen to solve their lunch problems. It turns out that social forces can also help her fulfill this desire to help her children. Her job has once again become something she likes to do, and she feels particularly happy.

Aka Farm is about to open its own farms in Hangzhou and Shanghai. At present, Aka Farm in Hangzhou is under construction and is expected to open in June 20 15. In addition to self-operated farms, Aka will also join the investment promotion in the south. Jiang Yuhong hopes to share a healthier lifestyle with more people. "Whenever I am tired, there will always be a force to lift me up." Jiang Yuhong said with a smile, now that she and her farm are integrated, we can feel the state of natural harmony.
