As long as I can remember, mangoes have always been a part of my life. My family owns a mango farm, so naturally all of my life's memories include mangoes!
For me, wedding photos are not simply a record of the happiest day of my life, but also a representation of our family's love for each other. That's why I decided to take our wedding photos at the farm where I grew up.
I hope someday, with the help of my wedding album, I can pass along my story and our family’s history to my children as they become participants in our family's legacy.
While I was designing our packages, I decided to transcribe a statement I was feeling. “Accompanying the farmers through half their youth, raising children of Fangshan.” I can gladly say that I was raised by mangoes!
I believe the value of agriculture is not simply about sales, but also the emotions shared with you.
Viviyaciou describes the effort of my parents and now is one of the most important aspects of my life. Our Facebook group was initially created because of a school assignment. Now, Viviyaciou has accidentally transformed into a successful E-commerce brand. My ultimate goal as the brand manager is that through the accounts of our daily lives, we have touched you in a way that makes you feel closer to us!

Origin of Brand Name
Farmers have to wait once a year, spending the entire year cultivating mangoes.
When harvest season approaches, the farmers watch the mangoes ripen from green to red day by day. As the
mangoes transform to their ripe red color, a smile is brought to the farmers’ faces.
Our name “Viviyaciou” means “a gentle smile” in Taiwanese. We hope that when you taste our mangoes, it
will bring a smile to your faces as delightful as ours.
Our Philosophy
Adhering to the concept of “Grow ourselves, Satisfy ourselves”,
We manage our farmland with our hearts,
using the simplest and honest methods to grow the best mangoes.
Mission
Although we are producers, we always keep our philosophy in mind in all aspects of our work,
We are dedicated to sharing these principles with you through our daily lives.
Treating You Like Family
Nowadays, the issue of food safety has drawn the public to scrutinize the entire food production process.
We take these matters to heart and adhering to our overarching philosophy,
we abide by the strictest regulations to ensure only the best mangoes are shared with you.
Started Overseas Delivery in 2016
In August 2015, we went to Hokkaido, Japan. As we were headed back to Sapporo from visiting the lavender fields
in Furano, we pulled off the highway to refuel. Moments after the car refueling, we noticed the car trembling and it eventually broke down on the side of the road. We were in the middle of nowhere so I immediately called the rental company for assistance. While I was on the phone with the rental company, the rest of my family ran to a nearby house where an elderly couple lived.
We rang the doorbell and an elderly lady came to the door. We explained our situation hoping the couple could offer some assistance. At first, the lady kindly invited us into their living room for some tea and juice. Figuring out we needed to go back to Sapporo, her husband checked the train schedule and told us which train to take. In the end, we said our goodbyes, thanked and hugged them, and headed to the train station.
While on the platform waiting for our train, we were surprised to see the elderly man had come in person to ensure we were okay! My eyes filled with tears of gratitude as if I was being cared for by a family member. Sadly, we didn’t have anything to give him to show our appreciation. I asked for his address and promised him that I would send him mangoes in the future.
And as promised the following year, we sent the gracious couple a box of mangoes and subsequently started exporting mangoes to Japan.
Our Family Record
Everything we do in our production process from conception to execution
seem to be done for our consumers but in reality,
the real motivation is to record these efforts for our family.
Vision
Having been raised in the countryside, there has always been a sense of “community”.
Neighbors often share whatever they have which has impacted me greatly throughout my life.
This sense of “gratitude” is what comes to my mind when I’m working on the farm.
I want to express my appreciation to you for participating in our journey.
We look forward to seeing you in the near future!
