Message To WWOOFers In Japanese
私たちが移住した集落は、周りを山々に囲まれた中山間地で、鳥の鳴き声だけが聞こえる静かなところです。この地域は滝から流れるきれいな水が有名で、今の時期は鏡のように水をはった田んぼに青々とした苗が植えられていて、散歩するだけでも素晴らしい景色に出会えます。
パーマカルチャーの概念をもとに、人、米、野菜、果樹、家畜、森、川、池、花などが有機的につながっている空間を時間をかけてつくっていきたいと思っています。
田んぼでの米づくり、畑での野菜づくりでは、自然農・自然栽培を中心にすすめていこうと日々、試行錯誤をしている段階です。また、私たちが生活する家のリフォーム、生きものと共生するビオトープづくり、子ども達(我が家には4人の娘(9歳、7歳、3歳、1歳)がいます)の遊具づくりなども平行してすすめていきたいです。
我が子も含めて、この場に集まる子ども達が幸せな子ども時代を過ごせるような場にしていくつもりです。夏休みや冬休みは、学童保育も行っています。お手伝いやサポートを募集しています。
出会ったウーファーの方と楽しい時間を過ごしたいと思っています。以前、自分がウーファーだったときのホストの方々と同じように、ウーフに参加した人の気持ちを尊重しつつ、家族の一員として温かく受け入れたいと思います。
