農薬・化学肥料を使わずに多品目の栽培と味噌、玄米糀、餅、梅干しなどの加工も行っています。作物としては、茶（緑茶、紅茶、三年番茶）、米、大豆、小麦、みかん、梅などを生産しています。平飼い養鶏も行っています。

有畜複合で多品目の生産を通して、農園内で藁や大豆殻、鶏糞、雑草などの緑餌を循環させ、できるだけ地域資源で賄える持続可能な農業を目指しています。

季節ごとに茶摘み、紅茶づくり、田植え、稲刈り、鶏しめ、餅つき、味噌づくりなどのワークショップやイベントも開催し、地域内外から大勢がやってきます。

自宅は自家発電のオフグリッドです。エアコンはなく、冬の暖房は薪ストーブを使っています。農業生産だけでなく、普段の暮らしからオーガニックなあり方を大切にしています。
In our farm, we produce various crops sucha as tea, rice, soybeans, wheat, mikan oranges, and plums without any chemical use. We also use these crops for processing of miso, mochi (rice cake), pickled plums, and koji. We keep hens and roosters for eggs.

We organize our farms in a way that resources such as rice and wheat straws, chicken manure, and weeds stay and circulate in the farm to fertilize soil and feed livestock in order to be sustainable, self-sufficient, and beyond organic. Small scale and multicropping practice of farming enable us to be less dependent on the outside resources.

Throughout a year, we organize various workshops and events such as handpicking of tea, black tea processing, rice planting, rice harvest, chicken workshop, mochi/rice cake making, miso processing, etc. in order to pass the knowledge about organic farming and livelihood.

In our house, we are off the electric grid and solely depend on the solar power generation. It is important for us to be organic and sustainable not only in the production, but also in various phase of our livelihood.
