大阪の都市部から新規就農して30年目　
2026年現在　since1996〜2026
現在は、夏場に桃など果物を中心とした農家です。
父子家庭ですが農業をやってます。
他に柿やすだちやグリーンレモンや栗や柑橘類を
栽培しております。
秋は、９月から栗がたわわに実り、秋らしく黄金色に
柿が実ります。
冬は、枝切りやたき火をしたり焼き芋作りや
みかんの収穫と新鮮なお野菜でお鍋などをします。
春は、山菜取りをしたりたけのこ掘りもします。

農業だけでなく農家民泊や桃狩り体験をやってます。
また、足踏み自然治癒療法や足ツボ療法もやって
おります。

できる限りウーファーさんとたくさんお話を
してお友達を作り、仲良く農作業ができれば幸せです。
難しい作業は、あまりなく簡単なことから
お手伝いして頂けたら嬉しいです。

ウーファーさんの特技や趣味などがあれば
是非それらを活かしたいです。
例えば、絵が上手であれば直売所などの看板に
絵を描いてもらったり、音楽が好きであれば
いろいろ聞かせてもらいたいです。
将来の夢や希望も是非、聞かせてください。
何かアドバイスなどできたらさせてもらいます。

桃は、有機肥料。不耕起栽培。
安全・安心して食べられる桃作りを目指しております。
農薬は3割減です。
ウーファーの皆さんと美味しい桃作りに挑戦してみませんか？

桃は6月中旬から8月前半に収穫します。
とてもデリケートな果物なので、
今はまだオーガニック栽培ではありません。
桃狩り体験をやってます。着ぐるみもあります。
美味しい桃を作れるよう試行錯誤しているところです。

温暖化によるCO2削減にも協力してます。
最近は、日本や世界各国で40℃を上回る酷暑日
は、異常です。
みなさんもリサイクル活動をしてストップ温暖化に
ご協力願います。
未来ある子供達に自然や農業を守り温暖化による
食料難にならないようにみなさんと一緒に考えましょう。
I started farming 30 years ago in urban Osaka (as of 2026).
I'm a single father, and I run a farm.

Currently, I mainly grow fruits such as peaches in the summer.

I also cultivate persimmons, sudachi, green lemons, chestnuts, and other citrus fruits. In autumn, chestnuts ripen abundantly from September, and persimmons turn a golden color, typical of autumn. In winter,

we prune branches, make bonfires, bake sweet potatoes, harvest mandarins, and cook hot pots with fresh vegetables.

In spring, we gather wild vegetables and dig for bamboo shoots.

In addition to farming,
we also offer farm stays and peach picking experiences.
We also offer foot massage therapy and foot reflexology.
I would be happy to talk with as many WWOOFers as possible, make friends, and work together on the farm.
There are not many difficult tasks, so I would be happy if you could help with simple things. If WWOOFers have any special skills or hobbies,

I would love to put them to good use.
For example, if you're good at drawing,
we'd love to have you paint a picture for a sign at our direct sales store, or if you like music, we'd love to hear about it.

Please also tell us about your dreams and aspirations for the future.

We'd be happy to offer any advice we can.
Our peaches are grown using organic fertilizer and no-till farming. We aim to produce peaches that are safe and secure to eat.

We've reduced pesticide use by 30%.
Why not join us in growing delicious peaches?
Peaches are harvested from mid-June to early August. They are a very delicate fruit, so we're not currently using organic farming methods. We offer peach-picking experiences.
We even have mascots! We're still experimenting to produce delicious peaches.
We're also contributing to reducing CO2 emissions due to global warming. Recently, temperatures exceeding 40°C in Japan and around the world have been extreme.
We ask for your cooperation in stopping global warming by participating in recycling activities.
