お茶とゆずを栽培・加工・販売を手掛けている農家です。
5月~9月は主にお茶を栽培、加工し、10月~12月まではゆずを栽培、加工しています。
それ以外の時期は園地の管理や少しの自家消費用野菜を栽培しています。
日本の本土から離れた島ですが、そこから更に農村地域になりますので島の外から来る場合は交通の便が悪いです。
そのかわり非常にのどかな地域で、他の農家さんとの交流も図れます。
なので、近隣の椎茸やアスパラガスや牛を飼っている方々のお手伝いも場合によっては可能です。
それ以外にも対馬で活躍する他分野の方々とコミュニケーションも図れます。
当園から最寄りの比田勝港まで来て頂ければお迎えに上がります。
(空港、厳原港からはバスが出ています)
基本的に日曜日をお休みとし、その時は近くのスーパーへ買い出しに行きます。
また、島外から来られたお客様の観光案内もする事もあります。
毎日韓国へ高速船が出ているので休みを利用して韓国へ行ってみるのもいいかもしれませんね。(コロナ禍で現在運休中)

お子様の受け入れは可能ですが、安全管理の観点から小学生以上とさせていただきます。(ゆずの収穫時期である11月~12月は不可)

We are farmhouse that cultivates tea and citron, processing and sale.
Mainly cultivating and processing tea from May to September, cultivating and processing citron from October to December.
Other times it cultivates the garden management and some vegetables for home consumption.
Although it is an island which is separated from the mainland of Japan, from there it becomes a rural area further so if you come from outside the island the transportation is bad.
Instead, we can also interact with other farmers in very peaceful areas.
If you come to Hitakatsu Port, which is the closest to the farm, we will pick you up.
(There is a bus from Izuhara Port and Tsushima Airport)
So it is possible in some cases to help people keeping neighboring shiitake mushrooms, asparagus and cows.
In addition, we can communicate with people in other fields active in Tsushima.
Basically We will take a day off from Sunday and at that time I will go shopping to a nearby supermarket.
There are also things to do for sightseeing guidance of customers who come from outside the island.
Because a high-speed ship is issued to Korea everyday, it may be okay to go to Korea by taking a break.
(currently suspended due to Covid-19)

We can accept children, but from the viewpoint of safety management, they must be elementary school students or older.
※Children's WWOOF experience is not accepted during the Yuzu harvest season in November-December
WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
新型コロナウイルスの流行状況を見ながら受入れを再開しました。

お子様の受け入れについては安全管理の観点から小学生以上とさせていただきます。

お陰様で1年の最盛期が終わり、現在は畑の管理作業など裏方の作業が主になります。
また、加工場の整備等の作業をお願いすることになると思います。
対馬を好きになって帰っていただきたいです。
来て頂けた方へは全力で対馬の魅力を伝えます。

We resumed acceptance while watching the epidemic situation of COVID-19.
We would like to give priority to those who have been vaccinated.
I will also recruit with this profile.
We can accept children, but from the viewpoint of safety management, they must be elementary school students or older.

Our high season has gone in this year.
In addition, I think that you can help other work such as maintenance of the processing plant any other.
I want you to like Tsushima by the time you leave our island.
We want you to know charm of Tsushima by all means.
