Herb Country Farm | 観光地情報 | K-Travel Mate

Opened in 1996, it is Korea's first herb-themed farm. The couple who established the farm came down to a deep valley in Pyeongchang in the year their ages combined reached 100, clearing a rocky field and planting herbs. Starting with 990㎡, the farm has grown to 33,000㎡ and has become a tourist attraction in Pyeongchang and the birthplace of Korea's herb industry. Herb Country Farm includes farmland cultivating herbs and flowers and a tourist farm where visitors can relax among herbs. Over 150 herb species, including lavender, sage, and buckwheat, are organized into about 10 themed gardens, each based on a unique story about herbs.
