ベリー類(ラズベリー、ボイセンベリー、ブルーベリー、カシス、レッドカーランツなど)やハーブを無農薬無化学肥料栽培している観光摘み取り園です。摘み取り園は主に週末にお客様をお迎えし、平日は果実を直売所等へ販売しています。
また、収穫シーズン外では、加工したジュース等をキッチンカーで販売しています。
農園は山や畑に囲まれており、とても静かで穏やかな時間を過ごすことができます。
We are the u-pick farm of berries such as red raspberry and boysenberry, blackberry, blueberry, blackcurrant, redcurrant, and more. We run our farm with organic way.
And also, the berries are processed into joice and sold in food truck on out of the harvest season.
We are located in Higashine city at Yamagata prefecture where still exists truely traditional Japan, many hot springs and nature.
We have a keen interest in international exchange.
Wwoofer can do mainly picking berries from July to October. The other works are preparing u-pick berry such as weeding, collecting garbage, building tiny house and chopping wood. And also my wife is a teacher of Japanese flower arrangement, so if you want, you can exprience it. Wwoofers who we accept would stay in my son's home. He can speak English to some extent and used to be a Wwoofer in New Zealand. He has wife and three little kids, so we want to accept wwoofer who likes kids.
