We have an organic attitude of sorts, but we do not go out of our way to be organic or alternative, rather, we do what suits us at the time

こんにちは。私たちは安全安心な食を得るために農業を始めました。山を整備し、畑を耕し、年間を通じて様々な野菜を育てています。水の豊かで美味しい菊池で四季を感じながら暮らしております。自分たちで育てた野菜で加工品なども作っております。
その他に、築80年の古民家を少しづつ再生しています。畑仕事以外にも、大工仕事など、仕事は沢山あります。自然の中で楽しく働いてみたい方大歓迎です。
2021年から平飼いの養鶏もやっています。

私たちには7歳6歳と3歳の子供がいます。夜は8時には就寝。毎日が運動会ですが、子供に理解のある方を歓迎します。
Hello!!
We are living in the countryside near mountains and rivers so nature is very important in our everyday life. Our farm is about 15mins by car from our house, in the mountain. In our fields, we are growing many kinds of organic vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Moreover, we produce jam and dry vegetables. Sometimes, we prepare traditional conserved food like Miso, tsukemono, and prum alcohol.
In the mountain, we have also an old house and we need to fix it, there is some wood work, and painting to do.
From 2022, we are also doing free-range egg poultry.

We have two children, 7, 6, and 3 years old. During the week, they are in the kindergarden from 9 AM to 5 PM.
There is a lot of work on our farm, so we are looking for someone who could de a hard worker, helpful, and interesting in our way of life. We should be very happy to share our culture and discover yours. We are waiting for your message!!
WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
無農薬野菜の栽培、平飼い鶏の飼育、古民家改装、など、やっています。
その他、スポーツと農業をコラボした活動も実施中!!
ぶどうのハウスを建てるのを手伝ってくれる方募集中!!
興味のある方は連絡ください!!

現在、自宅の方には個室がないため自宅には宿泊することはできません。
自宅から車で15分の鶏舎がある場所に家がありそちらに宿泊できます。

小さい子供が3人いてとても賑やかですので、子供が好きな方が嬉しいです。
We are growing some organic vegetables corn, eggplant, carrot, wheat, and more.
And we have many chickens for the egg.

In addition, activities that collaborate with sports and agriculture are also underway!

Now we can't accept staying at our house because we don't have a private room, so if you want to stay some days you can use a small house nearby our house.

Thank you!
