私達は和歌山県にある有田川町の山間で生活しています。
ここには都会の様な利便性はありませんが、特産品の山椒を中心に柚子・シナモンなど山の恵みを最大限に活用した、自然と調和した生き方をしています。
現在の農薬をたくさん使用する農業は確かに病気も防げて収量も多いかもしれませんが、土地や人に無理をさせており健康的で持続可能なものではないと思います。
私たちは「本当はどうか」と常に考えているので、土地も人も健康的で且つ持続可能な発展を遂げることができるよう、無理のない範囲でできるだけ有機的栽培に切り替えています。
この「本当はどうか」と考えるのは農業だけではなく、社会で生きていく上でも同じ事です。
また、全ての人が仲良く過ごせる社会が実現するならという事を根本においておりますので、差別主義の方には向かないと思います。

皆さんには山椒収穫のなどのお手伝いを中心に食事やコミュニケーションを通じて、私たちが日々している自然と調和した生き方を感じて頂けたら嬉しいです。
WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
当園は自然と調和した暮らしをしている山椒農家です。
農園だけではなく、加工品作りや農家カフェもやっています。

ウーファーさんと農作業や日々の生活を通じて楽しくやっていけたらなと思っています。

ウーファーさんの仕事
4月：山椒の花収穫
5月～10月：山椒収穫・草刈
通年：加工品の加工・山椒畑管理

農作業はハードではないですが、7月・8月・9月は気温が高くかなり暑いです。

ご飯はロッジ風の家で手作りの家庭料理を楽しんで頂けます。
もちろん山椒農家なので山椒を使った料理もあります。

宿泊は古いけどきれいに使ってある古民家でゆっくり休んで下さい！

和歌山は自然が豊かなので休日も楽しめると思います。

是非お待ちしています♪
