Organic Lifestyle
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
Example of Lifestyle (Japanese)
オーガニックで自給的な生活をめざしつつ、無理のない範囲で生活しています。
基本的にはあまり外食はしませんし、加工品を食べることも少なく、可能な限り手作りの食事を心がけています。
精神性の向上のための学びや、営農としてのマーケティングなどを中心に、日々学びをしています。
地上波のテレビは見れませんが、家族のだんらんツールとして最近ネット配信を見れるようにしました。
以前はテレビゲームなども与えませんでしたが、時代や子どもたちの付き合いなどから、ゲームも解禁しています。
Example of Lifestyle (English)
While aiming for an organic and self-sufficient life, I live within a reasonable range. Basically, I don't eat out much, I don't eat processed foods very often, and I try to make homemade meals as much as possible. I am learning every day, focusing on learning to improve my spirituality and marketing as a farm. I can't watch terrestrial TV, but recently I've made it possible to watch online distribution as a tool for family harmony. In the past, I didn't give him video games, but I've allowed him to play games because of the times and the way he interacts with children.
