First farm stay at Flying Cow Ranch, 飞牛牧场, Taiwan (Day 1 and 2)

We finally braced ourselves for a family holiday and a ten days one at that. We survived it and it wasn’t as bad as we thought so here’s part one of our 10 day free and easy trip to Taiwan.

These are the places we covered in Taiwan from mid to end May, Miaoli -> Cing Jing ->  Hua Lian -> Taipei

We checked in early for our flight to allow Sophie some play time before we took off for our 5-hour flight from Singapore to Taipei.

I had initially prepared a bag of activities for the flight. But silly me forgot to bring along Sophie’s coloured pencils and I was surprised that the air stewardess said they didn’t have any as the activity pack given was a jigsaw set and a pencil case. How boring.

With nothing to keep her entertained, I had to answer a hundred and one questions from her until the flight entertainment was finally up and we all got to enjoy some telly time.

Little Sophie had her eyes glued to the screen

She finally knocked out half an hour before we landed which was just as well since we had to take another 2 hours cab ride to Flying Cow Ranch for our very first farm stay! We’ve heard good reviews about it from friends and TripAdvisor so we were looking forward to it.

Taiwan Adventure Day 1 and 2- Flying Cow Ranch

From Tao Yuan airport, we hailed a taxi and traveled 2 hours to get to Flying Cow Ranch. If you’re going in a big group of 5 or more, I’ll advise you to get Flying Cow Ranch to arrange for pick up in a mini van. Charges do apply, so you’ll have to check with them when you’re making your bookings.

We arrived at the Flying Cow Ranch in the evening and was surprised by the spacious room when we checked in. It may be simple in deco but proved to be a comfortable stay.



The room was well equipped with a mini fridge, hot flask, hair dryer, basic amenities, and was much roomier than I expected.

We wasted no time and headed for the last activity for the evening where they were conducting a  DIY activity, baking milk biscuits. Sophie was enthusiastic about helping and assisted to sieve the flour and stir in the ingredients. She even told me she learnt to bake in her childcare.


Our red bean sandwiched between two biscuits was a success and they tasted surprisingly delicious!

Before we turned it for the night, we were treated to fresh milk from the farm with the vouchers we received from our stay. I loved the malt flavored version which was sweeter compared to the regular milk but it was certainly a refreshing flavour.

The next morning, it’s off to the farm we go!

Exploring Flying Cow Ranch

The first activity we did was to feed the calves. Unfortunately, Sophie is too young for the task as we were told that the calves would suck hard at the teat of the bottle and unlike her milk bottle, the top is not screwed on. So Alexis and I had out go at feeding instead.

 My fingers were massaged as the calves licked and sucked on the teat!

After feeding the calves, I had my go at milking the cow. It was not as tricky as some described. Then again, I was a breastfeeding mum 😛  Sophie wasn’t keen to have a go at it and kept at a safe distance to watch from the side. The poor cow must have felt so violated having to be milked by so many hands.

After the session was over, we noticed that the cows had their teats sterilised. At least, we know that the milk that it produced is not contaminated.

 Barbado sheeps behind us

 Other feeding that took place on the farm included the kids (baby goats), ducks and rabbits

 We also bought some leaves to feed the goats

Self-service sheep feed

Next we went on to feed the rabbits that were housed in another area.

I loved how this farm provided lots of opportunities for Sophie to get up close to the animals and to feed them. Getting back to the main accommodation area was a rather long walk but along the way, there were sights like these musical bells which caught Sophie’s attention.

 There’s lots and lots of greenery which was certainly a welcomed sight

We didn’t join the rest of the afternoon DIY activities and decided to have their famous fresh milk based steamboat before we left. It was a healthy meal with lots of greens and it reminded me of carbonara where the sweetness of the milk can be tasted in the cooked food. Definitely, not to be missed.

And for dessert, we had a milk pudding that was interestingly shaped in a “balloon” which had to be pricked open.

There are plenty of cow related merchandise that you can purchase as a souvenir to remember your stay here at the Flying Cow Ranch.

Review of Flying Cow Ranch

Although we only spent one day and one night at the Flying Cow Ranch, it gave us sufficient time to explore and take part in the activities which are great for family bonding. Families with young kids will definitely enjoy this place though I wished there were more interactive signages to allow children to learn about life on the farm, the different stages of animal’s growth, etc. Be prepared to walk as you’ll have to climb stairs to get to the main activity area and then out to the farm. Not all parts of the farm are stroller friendly due to the stairs.

Complimentary breakfast is served and there is also a fast food restaurant, a Western restaurant and a Chinese restaurant, so you don’t have to worry about options for meals on the ranch. We enjoyed interesting meals like the milk based steamboat which is surely a first for me.

 The staff were friendly and helpful with our luggage and provided directions around the farm. I was impressed at how clean and spacious the rooms were with comfortable bedding. Overall the farm stay at Flying Cow Ranch was a fun experience for us and I’ll recommend it to friends with young children for a taste of life on the farm

    Wow looks like a lot of fun! The next time we’re going to Taiwan I’m going to consider the farm visit too. The last time I went, without kids, was just the museums and shopping around Taipei for 5 days. 🙁

    • Susan June 4, 2013 at 11:50 pm Reply

      Taipei without kids is fun. Frankly, I didn’t shop as much as I would have liked as Sophie was along with us on this trip. But the farm stay would be enjoyable for the kids and family.

        Hi Susan,
        Its nice to see yr blog.

        With your itinerary that’s mostly farm-stay, is Sofie enjoying every bit? Is any of your stay farm like paddy field, river with fishes, farmers-run-stay accommodate?

        Sorry to ask you cos saw Channel U of minsu but just couldn’t find it.

          Hi Amanda,
          Our farm stay was more commercialised but what you described certainly sounds like fun too! Sophie enjoyed her stay very much and after breakfast she was all ready to meet the farm animals and feed them 🙂

    cities can be difficult for kids, negotiating pavements, traffic and crazy steps up and down subways… but patience will pay off… my kids are older now and can manage quite a few flights of steps and can walk on their own a few meters in front of me without worrying about their safety…

    a quick question Susan, the people at kiasuparents mentioned the sandfly bites at flying cow… you did not mention anything about them… did you encounter any? or did the longsleeves and pants keep them away?

    we’re planning flyingcow for the end of the year…

    thanks!

    • Susan June 20, 2013 at 7:41 am Reply

      Hi Sheldon,
      We didn’t encounter sand flies when we were there. The sand flies may be a seasonal thing and besides it rained in the late morning which may have kept the flies out. We just wore t-shirt and shorts as you can see from my photos and it’s always advisable to bring along insect repellent.

      Hope you enjoy your stay there 🙂

    Hi Susan, sounds like a dream holiday for kids. Is the ranch accessible? Did you take the fast train from Taipei to get here? Thanks for sharing 😀

    Hi Susan,

    The ranch looks interesting – care to share how do you get to the ranch ? Via train or cab ? And how do you make reservation for the ranch stay ? Thanks !

    • Susan August 15, 2013 at 12:48 am Reply

      I booked my stay directly from the farm on their website. Here’s the link http://www.flyingcow.com.tw/hotel/reservation/index.php.

      To get to the farm from the airport, I hailed a cab from the airport and was quoted 3000TWD. The journey was long though, almost 2 hours.

  7. Kelly August 15, 2013 at 8:21 am Reply

    Hi Susan,

    Thanks for the really quick reply 🙂
    I was also thinking to visit the ranch upon arrival – is that recommended since you mention the journey to the ranch is almost 2 hrs and in addition – this is just after a flight ?
    Also, is it better to book the transport first prior to the trip ? I checked the flying cow website and seems that they provide transport too with a fee.

    What type of room would you recommend to stay at the ranch ? I am thinking we would leave the farm late afternoon say about 3pm – do you think that is enough time to explore the farm if we checked in the night before ?

    Sorry for this long list of questions :p
    Thanks 🙂

    • Susan August 18, 2013 at 4:13 pm Reply

      Hi Kelly,
      For us, we headed directly to the Flying Cow Ranch after we touched down and bought our pre-paid SIM Card at the airport. We checked with the ranch and they recommended that we take a cab there ourselves since we are a small family of 3, their transport is not free and you have to pay a fee of TWD2900. We paid TWD2,000 for a cab that we hailed from the cab stand. The journey was 2 hours. We booked the Luxury elegant suite and the room was very spacious. You can check out their rooms here, http://www.flyingcow.com.tw/hotel/reservation/reservation.php.

      Actually we also stayed for 1D1N and left at 4:30pm the next day as most of the farm activities are in the morning. It is enough time to explore the farm area. We also did their DIY activity on the first night.

    Hi! One more question =) does the room come with its own toilet or is it shared with other rooms? The guide at natas said that it isa common toilet =)

      Hi Jasmine,

      The toilet is in the room. No common toilets.

    HI Susan,

    Thanks for the review,

    I am visiting FLying Cow Ranch this Nov with my family. We planned to stay 2 nights there ,however the rooms are fully booked on one of the night so we can only stay one night there.

    Do you think 1 night is sufficient for the kids to try out all the activities?

    DO they allow us to stay behind for activities after we check out the next day?

    I saw that you went to cing jing too.. was thinking of spending 3 nights there instead of 2 since flying cow has no rooms for us. What can the children do in cing jing?

    Cheers

    • Susan September 3, 2013 at 9:33 am Reply

      I was there for just 1 day and 1 night and felt it was sufficient. In fact, most activities are in the day, unless you are keen to join all their DIY activities. When you reach, the staff can share the timing of the activities so that you can plan accordingly.
      Not a problem to leave your luggage at the front desk while you continue the next day. In fact, I did that as I only left for Cing Jing at 4pm.

      If you see from my other posts, there isn’t he Cing Jing Veteran Farm, or Green Green Grassland and Small Swiss Garden. Other places you can visit are Old England Manor, or if you are more adventurous some of their trails are beautiful.

    Hi Susan

    With the information on your website, we are also planning to go to flying cow ranch followed by Ching Jing farm. We have settled the transport from Tao yuan airport to flying cow as we noted that e-go transport company can provide the service. But our concern is from flying cow to Ching Jing Minsu. We have 2 families of 7. Should we pre-book transport? Or you see no problem for us to get 2 cabs?

    • Susan September 24, 2013 at 8:12 am Reply

      For such a big group, it’s better that you pre-book your transportation. Else you may want to try to write to Flying Cow Ranch for advice.

    Hi Susan,

    Thank you for sharing yr experience. I’m also planning my trip there but I noticed they only have a room for 2 person. Are you familiar with their accommodation policy as I’ve two kids, will they allow 2 adults 2 child in a room meant for 2? Do they charge extra? I don’t mind cramping since it’s just one nite.

    Thanks

      Hi, I believe they have larger family rooms to accommodate your family. My best advice is to email them to ask. Have you tried that?

    Nice! We visited the ranch in Feb last year. It is indeed a homely and child-friendly place. We missed the morning activities as my daughter, then over a year old, knocked out after the long travel. 🙂 We hope to visit again. Btw, are all their activities only in the evening?

      Hi Dawn,
      Most of their activities are in the afternoon and evening as most feeding ends by then.

      Hi,

      Thanks for your note. I’ll email you my itinerary this evening.When I researched, it’s harder to get to the ranch by train and it’s so much easier by taxi or if you go in a bigger group, 6 pax and up, you can ask Flying Cow Ranch to pick you up at a fee. For my journey there, I just hailed a cab from the airport as I headed there right after I landed.

    Hi Susan and all who are reading this…just as a warning…my family n I (5 adults n 3 kids) just came back from Flying Cow. We were there on Thurs 26 June 2014. Frankly we did not enjoy our stay there mainly because of the sand flies. They were tiny and insect repellent PROOF!!! Despite us spraying n spraying they still bit all of us, leaving us with red swollen n extremely itchy bite marks. A 10 min walk to view the animals caused me to be bited with over 8 bites and I am still suffering from the itch now 🙁

    • Susan June 28, 2014 at 3:31 pm Reply

      Hi Jane,

      Gosh, I’m so sorry to hear about that. Did you feedback to them about your unpleasant experience? We did not experience this during our stay and we did take precaution by spraying insect repellent as it is a farm stay after all.
      My review on the Flying Cow Ranch was my unbias opinion of our stay there and though we enjoyable, I will also add a reminder for all travelling there to take extra precaution of the sand flies. I do hope that your bites and itch subside soon.

  26. Ping June 28, 2014 at 10:41 pm Reply

    Jane, I was there on 9 & 10 June and got 50 sandfly bites on each leg! But it was only at the DIY workshop area, especially the washing up sinks at the back. Got complacent and didn’t put repellent after we didn’t get any bites in the ranch. Super scarred legs now 🙁 Luckily i seemed to have attracted all the flies cos my husband and kids were safe.

    But overall it was a wonderful experience at Flying Cow 🙂 Would still endorse. I agree with Susan that it is a farm after all.

    • Susan July 3, 2014 at 7:56 am Reply

      Thanks for sharing your experience Ping. I always attract the mozzies as well and actually had a bad case of sand flies at the minsu in Cing Jing 🙁

    We just came back from flying cow too. We loved the yogurts, daily free milk. Suffering from the sand flies bites too.. according to our driver, flying cow is around 2hr drive from taipei. WHich means there is an options od staying in city and drive to the farm. We paid around 300$ per night. Beside the bites, the trip was enriching.

    Driver guide mentioned that there is a bigger farm than flying cow in Hualian. Rei Suei Farm – Farm in TaiwanNo.157 Hualian County Ruisui Township, Taiwan 978.

    Perhaps will try it next yr.

But you can probably post your question on Trip Advisor or search through the forum there for some advice 🙂 Yes, I had sand flies at Cing Jing. So use it espcially if you are going to the Cing Jing farm.

      2. 2 days would be the I recommend on Flying Cow Ranch. As most of the farm activities are in the mornings, you’ll have the afternoon and evening to cover the DIY sessions.
      3. Baby boss for the kids is highly recommended. We also went to the Miniatures Museum of Taipei which has lots of miniature houses and even scenes from fairy tales. We also went to Dan Shui and there are lots to see there. If you don’t mind walking can also go to Jui Fen and Shi Fen where you can light and release the paper lantern.

      Hope this helps 🙂

    Hi Susan,

    I am doing a research on a 7days trip to Taiwan (with farmstay as the main purpose) as we are bringing four kids with the age ranging from 6-9 years old.

    Will appreciate if you can share your itinerary so I can ‘steal’ a little information from there regarding flying cow and other places of interest?

    Many Thanks!

    My friend and I are going to Taiwan on December and I’m so glad I’ve found this very nice blog of yours. I’m trying to book a room online but was having a hard time. Tried to register for a membership account via Flying Cow’s website but it kept on asking for an Identity Card number (my passport number wouldn’t do), and I tried to ask them thru email but their reply was in Chinese. 🙂 Since you booked your reservations online, some helpful tips/advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

    • Susan December 4, 2014 at 4:03 pm Reply

      If you are undeterred by the wet weather, it should be okay. But for me, it means lesser shopping since it’s mostly winter wear 🙂
      If you go during CNY period, shops may be closed. Or does the agency mean bad traffic due to more locals and tourists travelling then?

But for Fly cow, our current proposed itinerary by our driver is spending around 2-3 hours there only and then move on to lavender cottage and gaomei wetland…. I’m not sure if there will be sufficient time in Fly cow or too rush? Thanks for advice 🙂

    • Susan January 30, 2015 at 8:04 am Reply

      Hi Jaslyn,
      Thanks for reading my blog. What time will you get to Flying Cow Ranch? Most of their activities are in the morning, so if you reach in the afternoon, it’s mainly to walk around the farm and it should be sufficient. We arrived in the evening, so we only spent time on the farm in the morning. Roughly took us about three hours to cover the activities from around 9 to 11, had lunch and departed at 1pm. The lavender cottage is beautiful as well but we missed it the last time we were there.

      For us, we took the latter option. Not sure what’s your criteria for better but we knew we wanted to start the trip on a more interesting note for my girl, that’s why we headed there first. And also bevcause, we only stayed 1D1N in Flying Cow and proceeded on to CJ and HL.

    Very insightful blog. Would you mind sharing your itinerary with me ? We are planning to bring our 2 2 years old toddlers for the farm stay in July. Do you think the activities will suit them ? Will there be sand flies in July ? Can 2 years old participate the activities in Baby Boss ? Thank you.

    • Susan June 17, 2015 at 8:56 pm Reply

      Hi June, I’ve dropped you an email with my itinerary.
      I feel that 2 years old is quite a nice age to take them to the farm as they would recognise the farm animals and can even feed the rabbits and goats. We did experience some sandflies, so do dress your kids in long pants and have insect repellent.
      As for BabyBoss, 2 years old is too young and I think minimum age is three years old to appreciate and enjoy the experience.

      Sure, I’ve emailed my driver’s contact and itinerary to you. All the cars we took were a saloon as we’re a family of three. Some also provided car seat but do indicate when you book them.

    Hi Susan

    Chanced upon your blog while trying to book a trip to Taiwan. Have no clue on where to start planning for it .

    Thanks for the interesting information and would appreciate that you can send me your itinerary.

    My children (14 & 10 yrs old) have been asking for farm stay and was thinking of Flying Cow Ranch. Is it suitable for them? Tks

      Hmm not sure if your 14 year old will enjoy it but it should still be a fun experience for your younger one. I’ve sent you my itinerary for your reference 🙂

    Hi Susan, do you think it will be difficult to hail a cab from flying cow ranch to taoyuan airport?

    • Susan April 13, 2016 at 10:36 pm Reply

      Frankly, I’m not sure how hard it is to get a cab that takes you to Flying Cow Ranch but the journey takes 1.5 hr. So I guess we were lucky a cab driver was heading in that direction.

    • Susan July 16, 2016 at 12:29 pm Reply

      I think your children will prefer the Flying Cow ranch as there are opportunities to see the different farm animals. They can also feed the ducks, rabbits and goats or milk a cow for your older one. There also also DIY activities for craft work or baking, making pizza etc which they can do. I’ve sent you my itinerary with my driver’s contacts. Hope it will be helpful 🙂

      Which parts of Taiwan will you be going? Besides those that I blogged about, you may want to check out the Taipei Zoo, Tamsui Fisherman’s Wharf and the various night markets. For amusement parks, you can go to Lihpao Land in Taichung or Leofoo Village Theme Park in Hsinchu County
