Certification Details
Organic Lifestyle
We have an organic attitude of sorts, but we do not go out of our way to be organic or alternative, rather, we do what suits us at the time
Example of Lifestyle (Japanese)
基本的に自給に近い食生活をしています。
自給野菜は有機栽培、米は除草剤1回使用のみ。柑橘類は減農薬栽培、ブルーベリーは無農薬栽培です。水は井戸水使用、電気はソーラーパネルで使用量の1/2以上は太陽光発電によるものです。生ゴミはすべてコンポスト化して畑に戻しています。
タバコは吸いますが、舌は鋭敏でファーストフードは受け付けません。添加物の多いものなど食べると、身体の防衛反応が働くのか、下痢など排泄が早まります。また傷んだものなどは口に入れるとすぐわかるようになります。
余談ですが、都会の汚れた空気の中で吸うタバコは最悪ですが、畑の中で鳥の声など聞きながらの一服は最高です。
私の百姓としての基本的なスタンスは、仮に世界的な食料危機・エネルギー危機が起きても、日々の生活は何とか維持できるようにするというものですので、100%有機農業ということにはあまりこだわっていません。そうなればいやでも有機農業にせざるを得ないのですから。
それよりも、植物の能力を最大限に引き出すためにはどうしたら良いのか、そのことを植物との対話を通して学んでいきたいと思っています。植物も人間と同じ生き物です。人間にとってと同じように、ただ食べて(養分を吸収して)生活する(果実を実らせる)だけでは生きているとは言えません。そこに愛のやりとりがあって始めて、生きることは輝きを増してきます。植物は愛に反応します。そのことが最近少しずつわかってきたような気がします。
