私達、若葉農園は小さな農家です。
あら川の桃を主に作っています。

４月はきれいな桃の濃いピンク色の花を摘みます。
５月は桃の摘果に袋かけ、春野菜の収穫、竹の子掘りなど大忙しです。
６月下旬から桃の収穫が始まります。
夏は桃狩り体験を受け入れしています。
また、農家民泊と言って民宿と違いお客様と一緒に料理を作り一緒に食事を作る体験をやっております。
農家のありのままを体験できます。

桃は、有機肥料で育てているため安全・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？

桃は暑い時期に取ませ。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。
美味しい桃を作れるよう試行錯誤しているところです。
We, Wakaba Farm, are a small farming company.
We mainly grow Arakawa peaches.

In April, we pick the beautiful deep pink blossoms of peaches.
In May, we are very busy picking peaches, bagging them, harvesting spring vegetables, and digging bamboo shoots.
Peach harvesting starts in late June.
In summer, we accept peach picking and mountain stream climbing experiences.
We also offer farm stays, which are different from private lodgings in that we cook together with our guests.
You can experience the farm life as it is.

We grow peaches with organic fertilizer, so we aim to produce peaches that are safe and secure to eat.
We use 30% less pesticides. Why not try growing delicious peaches with other WWOOFers?

Peaches are harvested in the hot season and are very delicate fruits, so we are not yet growing them organically.
We are currently experimenting to produce delicious peaches.

We are looking for energetic, hardworking volunteers to help out. We are currently hiring for April 15th to August 31st, 2026! Meals will be prepared at the detached house, but we sometimes cook together. Our family consists of just me (my father) and our child. I have a 15-year-old son in high school. If you love children, please come and visit us. Benefits: All-you-can-eat peaches during peach season! During persimmon and mandarin orange season, we make dried persimmons and mandarin orange juice. Enjoy plenty of fresh vegetables and fruits grown almost entirely without pesticides. The rooms are equipped with Japanese-style tatami mats, kotatsu tables, and futons. There are vaulting boxes and sports mats for free play. Sightseeing: World Heritage sites like Mount Koya and Stationmaster Nitama-chan. On my days off, I take people on drives. Access: Just over an hour by train from Kansai Airport. Very close and convenient. I will pick you up at Iwade Station or Shimoisaka Station on the Wakayama Line. *Please make sure that the WWOOFer's profile photo is included.
