牛舎作業　1日2回　朝5:00～、夕16:30～　1回1時間半から2時間程度
　　　　　搾乳、掃除、餌やり、冬の方が夏より力仕事多いです。
1日の作業が3～4時間だけで牛舎の時間以外は自由時間にしているので週に1回の休みを基本的にはあげていません。
しかしながら他にも何かたくさん手伝ってもらったときや疲れていそうなときは休みをあげることがあります。

夏：薪割り
冬：雪かき
Cattle Barn Work
Twice daily Morning: 5:00 AM~ Evening: 4:30 PM~ Each session: Approximately 1.5 to 2 hours
milking, feeding, cleaning of cow shed　
Winter involves more heavy work than Summer.
Work hours are only 3 to 4 hours per day, and time outside the barn is free time, so we don't regularly give them one day off per week.
However, we may give them day off when they help with other tasks a lot or seem tired.

The other tasks
Summer : chop the wood
Winter : shovel the snow
Usually 6 hours or less a day
  • In a room in the house where the Host family live
  • Using a Japanese futon

山に囲まれた静かな集落で、四季の美しい場所です。
牛の飼料は、ここで採れる牧草と、北海道産のビートの搾りかすだけで、遺伝子組み換えの飼料を与えていません。夏には放牧をしています。持続可能な農業を目指しています。

自分でできることや作れるものは、できるだけ自分でやりたいと思っています。
ターシャ・テューダーがしていた生活に憧れています。
冬は薪ストーブを使っています。

食品添加物や化学調味料を使わないようにしています。
反核、平和のための活動や学びの場に参加することを心がけています。

ウーファーさんには、朝と夕方の牛舎作業を1日合計3〜4時間ほどで昼間はいつも自由時間なので基本的には週一回の休みをあげていません。しかし日によって夏は家庭菜園や薪割り、牧柵の準備など、冬は雪かきなどをお願いすることがあります。たくさん手伝ってもらった時や疲れてそうな時は休みをあげることもあります。

交通の便が悪いので、ウーファーさんが昼間一人で出かけられる所がかなり限られます。私たちが出かけるときに一緒に行くことは可能です。夏は家の近くでハイキングができます。冬は私がスキーインストラクターの仕事をしているのでほぼ毎日のように一緒に連れて行くことができます。

電磁波からのデトックスや、自然な生活をしたいウーファーさんには合っていると思います。便利な生活や交通の便が良いところを希望する人には向かないかと思います。携帯電話の電波は家の中ではあまり届かないです。

同じ時を過ごせる事を楽しみに待っています。
We live in the place the four seasons are very beautiful with our cows and other animals. We want to learn English.
The cattle are fed only grass from this area and beet pulp from Hokkaido, and are not fed genetically modified feed. The cattle are pastured in the summer. We are committed to sustainable agriculture.
I want to do as much of what I can do and make myself.
I admire the lifestyle that Tasha Tudor had.
I use a wood stove in the winter.

I try not to use food additives or chemical seasonings.
I try to participate in anti-nuclear and peace activities and learning opportunities.

We ask our wwoofers to do milking and cleaning in the cows barn in the morning and evening, total only 3~4 hours a day, and during the day is free time, so we don't regularly give them one day off per week. However, we may give them day off when they help with other tasks a lots or seem tired. It’s depending on the day, we sometimes ask them to help in the vegetable garden, chop wood, and prepare the pasture fence in the summer, and shovel snow in the winter.

Traffic is bad, so there are quite a few places where wwoofer can go out alone on their day time. But it’s possible for us to take you when we go out. You can often go hiking around the my house in the summer. As I work as a ski instructor in the winter, I can take you with me almost every day.


I think this is a good fit for wwoofer who wants to detox from electromagnetic radiation and live a natural life. I think it is not suitable for those who want a convenient life and easy access to transportation. Cell phone reception is not very good in the house.

I am looking forward to spending the same time with you!
WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
今から4月中旬の間、また5月7日から24日まで空きがあります。来てくれる方大募集中です！

夏は一日中牛を放牧しています。
放牧地で牛を眺めながらのんびりしませんか？
街までは遠いけど近くにはハイキングできる山と美味しい湧き水があります。

冬は毎年40回くらいスキー場に行きます。朝晩の牛舎作業を手伝ってくれる方一緒にスキー、ボードしませんか？雪質は最高ですよ！
We are looking for people to come here from now to middle of April and from May 7th to May 24th.

Also in the summer, we graze cows all day long.
Would you like to relax while watching the cows in the pasture?
It's a long way to town, but there are mountains to hike and delicious spring water nearby.

We go skiing about 40 times every winter. If you are willing to help with the morning and evening barn work, come ski or board with us! The snow quality is great!

Notice to WWOOFers from overseas.
We want to receive WWOOFers who come here directly, without stopping on the way at other farms abroad or have been in Japan for at least one week, before coming to our place.
The reason for this, is towards the prevention of infectious diseases to our farm animals from overseas, such as foot-and-mouth disease.
We appreciate your understanding.
