Today, the farm primarily raises cows and racehorses and produces high-quality organic milk and horses for racing to utilize the profits in various welfare projects. The farmland also presents an exotic scenery as the vast grasslands blend in with modern structures such as Ctesiphon, which symbolizes the history of the farm. The farm also has a cafe that uses milk produced at the farm in addition to a trail and park with religious themes.

Geum Parasitic Cone is one of the more famous parasitic cones in the western mountainous region. It is a satellite volcanic edifice that has a large circular crater (52 meters deep) and a crater lake at the summit, and the two peaks in the south and the north are connected by a low slope from east to west. The lake at the summit inside the crater once held an abundant volume of water but it is now empty, showing the bottom of the crater. The name Geum Parasitic Cone is speculated to have derived from an archaic word "Gom," which means "god." Therefore, it can be interpreted that this parasitic cone has been deified since the ancient times. Pines, cedars, briers, bo trees and Oriental photinia can be found near the circular crater and the lake area.
