About half organic

No

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

私たちはまず友人の有機農家の野菜を買い、それを料理に使用しています。その上で、足りないお野菜については、近隣の時々、お手伝いしたりしている農家さんや、近所のスーパーなどで購入しています。なので、原っぱカフェで使っている野菜は全てがオーガニックというわけではありません
でも、なるべく、地域、あるいは近いところで取れたお野菜やお米を使うように心がけています。

Usually we buy organic vegetables from our friend organic farmers.
And then when we need other vegetables more, we go to buy them at the supermarket in our town.
So we eat not only organic food.

WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
7月の後半以降で、WWOOFでお手伝いいただける方を募集しています。活動内容はコミュニティレストランでのお料理りづくりや準備、片付け、お皿洗いや掃除、食材を分けていただいている農家の畑での農作業のお手伝いなど自然の中での活動もします。

---------------------------------------------

大分県の湯布院という場所で「原っぱカフェ」というコミュニティレストランをNPOで運営しています。ここでは食を通じて、世界中から集まった人たち、地元の住民、老いも若きも、障害のあるなしにかかわりなく、様々な人たちが交流し、その交流を楽しむとともに、そこから、日常の暮らしの中での助け合いの関係を生み出して行きたいと様々な実験的取り組みを行っています。


<この場所であなたが得られること、体験できるかもしれないこと>

・湯布院の地元の様々な世代の人たちも一緒に参加したり、お客さんとしてカフェにもくるので、そういったローカルな交流もできます。

・日本の料理だけでなく、様々な国の料理を他のウーファーさんたち、地元の人たちから学ぶことができます。また、料理にあまり興味のなかった人たちも料理の面白さを知ることができると思います。

・朝、昼、晩と、ランチで作った料理の残り物や、もしそれがない場合は、自分たちで好きな料理を作って食べることができます。

・午前中、カフェで料理を作った後は、午後から、野菜をカフェに分けてくれている農家さんのところによくお手伝いに行きます。たいていは長くても2時間程度の作業ですが、通常、たくさんの人数で行くので、面白いように作業が進んでいき、大自然の中で楽しく農作業ができると思います。また農家の方からも喜んでもらえて、感謝されることが多いので、やりがいや、人に喜んでもらえる嬉しさもきっと感じられると思います。

・カフェのスペースは夜の10時まで開いているので、いろんな国から来た人たちとゆっくり話しをしたり、お酒を飲んだり、ゲームや音楽をしたりといった交流もできます。

・wifiがカフェにも、ウーファー用シェアハウスにもあるので、インターネットに不自由することはないと思います。

・経済効率や利益追及、競争の場とは、反対の方向を目指している場所なので、そういった暮らしに疲れた方にも、ちょっと一息ついて、自分の暮らし方を見直してみるきっかけになるかもしれません。

-----------------------------------------------------

 私たちのカフェには、お料理の値段表示はなく、代金は食べた後にお客さんが自分で決めて箱の中に入れます。また、お店として雇われているプロのシェフもおらず、ウーファーさんらを含めて、スタッフ全員がボランティアとして料理を作ります。それぞれがその日、自分の作りたい料理を自由に作り、提供されます。
 その時の経済状態に関わらず、地域の中で健康に暮らすための基本的な食事を保障していこうという、この試みは2016年1月から行っており、少しずつ定着しつつあります。

午後からは、ウーファーさんたちとともに、人手に困っている、地元の農家さんにお手伝いに行ったり、近隣の住民の方からの頼まれごとで、草むしりなどの簡単な作業のお手伝いに行くこともあります。

地域の外の人たちの力を借りながら、地域の役に立てるような仕組み、お互いにとって、有意義でとても助かるような、そんな仕組みをウーフというシステムを活用しながら作っていけたらいいなあと考えています。

そんな試みに一緒に楽しみながら、関わってみたいという意欲的なウーファーさんを大募集します。

We will accept WWOFers after the 24th of July at the moment.

Activities include cooking, preparing and cleaning up at the community restaurant, and helping farmers who share their produce with us in a natural setting. We are already fully booked for WWOOF until the second half of July, but we are still looking for WWOOFers after that time.

---------------------------------------------

We are a non-profit organization running a community restaurant called "Hara Hara Cafe" in a place called Yufuin in Oita Prefecture. Through food, people from all over the world and local residents, young and old, with and without disabilities, enjoy interacting with each other, and through this interaction, we are conducting various experimental efforts to create a relationship of mutual support in daily life.


<What you can get out of this place and what you may experience

You will have the opportunity to interact with local people of all ages from the Yufuin area, as they will participate in the event together or come to the cafe as customers.

You will be able to learn not only Japanese cuisine, but also various cuisines of different countries from other woofers and local people. I think it is also a great opportunity for those who are not so interested in cooking to learn how interesting it can be.

In the morning, lunch and dinner, we can have leftovers of dishes we cooked for lunch, or if we don't have them, we can make and eat our own favorite dishes.

After cooking at the cafe in the morning, we often go to the farmers who share their vegetables with us in the afternoon. The work usually takes about two hours at most, but since we usually go with a large group of people, the work progresses in an interesting way and we can enjoy working on the farm in the great outdoors. Also, the farmers are often happy and grateful to us, so I am sure you will find it rewarding and the joy of making others happy.

The café space is open until 10 p.m., so you can talk, drink, play games, and listen to music with people from different countries.

Wifi is available both in the cafes and in the share houses for woofers, so I don't think there will be any lack of internet access.

It is a place that aims to be the opposite of a place of economic efficiency, pursuit of profit, and competition, so if you are tired of such a lifestyle, this may be an opportunity to take a break and reevaluate your way of living.

-----------------------------------------------------

 In our café, there is no price label on the dishes; customers decide what they want to pay and put it in the box after they eat. Also, there is no professional chef employed by the restaurant, and all staff members, including Woofer and others, volunteer to prepare the food. Each person is free to prepare and serve whatever dish he or she wishes to make that day.
 This attempt to guarantee a basic meal for a healthy life in the community, regardless of the economic situation at the time, has been in place since January 2016 and is gradually taking root.

In the afternoons, we sometimes go with the woofers to help local farmers who are in need of help, or to help with simple tasks such as weeding at the request of nearby residents.

We hope to create a system that will be useful to the community with the help of people outside the community, and that will be meaningful and very helpful to both parties, while utilizing the WOOF system.

We are looking for motivated woofers who would like to be involved in such an endeavor while having fun together.
