Recently, Chen Meng-kai has found himself spread a little too thin, and has decided to close his organic restaurant. He has rented the 23,000-square-meter facility to Dharma Drum Mountain as a Zen Buddhist retreat center. Because Dharma Drum Mountain shares the same ideals as the Hope Market, "Hope will continue to grow under the care of Dharma Drum Mountain."
最近陳孟凱在東籬農園難以兼顧「有機餐廳」的現實下，將結束餐飲經營，把廣達 7 千坪的園區租給宗教團體做為禪修中心；由於這個團體也認同合樸的理念，合樸將在新園主的育成下繼續成長。
