Gokseong apple mangoes are of the Irwin variety, which is in season, characterized by a bright red skin reminiscent of apples, sweet flavor, and a unique deep aroma.

Meanwhile, green papaya is well known as the main ingredient in the Thai dish 'Som Tam' and can be enjoyed in salads or as a seasoned dish. It contains abundant papain enzymes that aid digestion, as well as various vitamins and minerals, making it highly nutritious.

A county official said, "Through this special event, you can enjoy high-quality tropical fruits that are usually hard to find at a low price," adding, "We also offer a 3,000 won coupon for new sign-ups and a shipping discount coupon, so we ask for your great interest and participation."

'Immanuel Art Farm,' the main player in this event, is a 2.3-hectare greenhouse farm located in Ip-myeon, Gokseong-gun.

Operated by the couple Jeong Jae-gyun and Park Kyung-eun since 2008, the farm specializes in cultivating various tropical crops including apple mangoes, green papayas, basil, and water spinach.

In particular, the farm has established a year-round production system using a heating system that utilizes waste heat from the Kumho Tire Gokseong factory, and it has obtained pesticide-free certification by using self-fermented organic compost.

Additionally, 'Immanuel Art Farm' is leading social contribution activities by donating part of its sales proceeds to local children through the 'Gokseong Love, Child Love Campaign.'
