家族構成は、95歳の父と52歳の妻そして60歳私の3人です。私は、脱サラ・Uターン後就農して約15年ほどになりますが、喫茶店を本業としていたため副業としての普通の農業の経験しかありません。農業を本業として本格的に有機農業に取り組みだしたのは、まだ2年前からです。いろいろと試行錯誤しながら昨年やっと念願の無農薬米（完全な有機栽培まではいきませんが近いもの）ができました。これを契機に、稲の完全有機化を完成させる、また他の作物(例えば、裏作の麦や大豆、小豆や野菜）への水平展開を考えています。
有機農業を目指すのは、物理的には、人間を含む全ての生物や環境に対し安全、安心であるからでももちろんありますが、人間が物事に向かう時の基本的、精神的な拠りどころみたいもの（感謝や自然に対する畏怖の念や神の摂理など）を内包しており、諸事に当たって人間に思い起こさせる働きを持っているからではないかと思い直すことがあります。今の世を騒がせるいろんな事件、出来事もそういう精神の欠如から来ているのではないかと思うこのごろです。そういう意味からも、当農園の来られる方々が実作業を通して少しでも忘れていたものを思い起こす事に私どもが協力できれば幸いです。
