Message To WWOOFers In Japanese
私は、両親が無農薬・無化学肥料の野菜作りをして30年以上になる農家の二代目です。養鶏も行っています。田んぼは減農薬です。毎週日曜日は朝・昼市に行き、月曜、火曜、金曜は野菜の配達に行きます。両親とは別の旅館風の建物に住んでおり、その活用を考えていますが、ウーファーさんを受け入れることで、ここを生き生きとした場所にできたらと考えています。また、労力も期待しています。
いわき市の中心部から車で約45分の中山間地域です。水は山水で、静かなところです。私は主に収穫・梱包・販売を主に手がけており、父が主に野菜栽培の中心的担い手ですが、私も学びながら前に進んでいます。良かったらお越しください。
最後に、携帯電話はAUとNTTdocomoはつながりやすく、Softbankはつながりにくいです。
