In the Atsumi Peninsula of Aichi Prefecture, we offer farm stays and experiential education programs such as farm schools, where visitors can experience the lifestyle of farming while growing vegetables and rice.

The Atsumi Peninsula is a region known for large-scale agricultural production. However, we have been presenting the potential of sustainable agriculture and the utilization of farmland to the local community, beyond just large-scale production.

Our mission is not only to practice organic farming but to use the value of rural resources—such as rice fields, farms, satoyama (traditional woodlands), and rural landscapes—to provide experiential education programs that encourage individuals to reconsider their perspectives and ways of life. Through this, we aim to foster an awareness of building a sustainable society.

- Our Organic Farming -
Pigs raised with "society’s leftovers"
We create pig feed using local food waste, such as fish scraps from local fishmongers, tofu lees from the tofu shop, and imperfect vegetables from the farm. We also use industrial waste like sake lees and discarded sweets to create eco-friendly feed. The fuel for cooking the feed comes from local resources like wood from satoyama and driftwood from the coast, contributing to the local recycling of resources.

Soil creation using chicken manure
We use the fermented manure of the local Nagoya Cochin chickens to enrich the soil. From December to April, we produce organic cabbage, broccoli, and radishes, which are shipped to cooperatives and other markets.

Building a farming life beyond the roles of farmer and consumer
Through our rice field sharing and farm school programs, participants work together to grow rice and vegetables. It is not just an agricultural experience; it is a community where people grow the food they eat with their own hands.

Internship and training opportunities

The Atsumi Peninsula is a rich natural area with the sea just 5 minutes away and satoyama right around the corner. In this cyclical natural environment, we grow vegetables, rice, chickens, and pigs, living a farm-based lifestyle.

We also engage in seasonal handwork, such as miso-making, bamboo shoot-based menma (pickled bamboo shoots), and lemon jam-making. Through these activities, we think about how we can raise people who will practice creating a sustainable society.

What is a sustainable society? What does it mean to live in harmony with others? How can we influence individual awareness? We welcome those who are interested in exploring these philosophical questions with us, as we contemplate these issues in our daily lives.

We also run a next-generation development project to support young people working towards a sustainable future using various methods in the field of agriculture. Our site hosts about 100 students annually, and we invite anyone looking to explore their own way of life to join us.
