Message To WWOOFers In Japanese
新規就農したばかりです。人と動物と環境に負担の少ない農業を目指しています。持続的にこの地で生活できるよう試行錯誤中です。段々と生活の中の自給率を高めようとしています。人との関わりが少ないので、色々なお話を一緒にできる方をお待ちしています。人生と農業共に経験は少ないですが、よろしくお願いします。
家畜、子供、野生動物に囲まれた賑やかな場所です。
あまり働きすぎず細く長くやっていけるような、毎日を目指しています。動物との暮らしなので朝早いですが、無理せず好みの時間に手伝ってもらえたら嬉しいです。動物のお世話や牧草地の管理を主にしています。
5月-10月くらいの夏は朝夕の牛と移動する時間がきれいでのんびりしていて素敵です。山や畑の植物の生命力も感じて好きな時間です。草の収穫時期は忙しいですが、良い匂いと景色は楽しむことができます。
冬は寒いのでマイペースに暮らしています。豪雪地帯なので、子供や旅人にとっては楽しいと思います。除雪は少し大変です。暖かい家でゆっくりなにか作ったりします。動物の分娩が多いので哺乳に多く時間がかかります。
子供は4歳2歳0歳です。かまってほしいお年頃なので、子供が好きであればおしゃべりやカードゲームなど一緒に楽しんでもらえると嬉しいです。日曜祝日は子供が休みなので日中よく出かけます。おいしい食事や温泉、友達の牧場を目的にすることが多いです。
おいしいものを食べることが好きなので、色々一緒に食べましょう。家で牛乳や粉を加工したり、優先して自家産、地元産や国産の安全な食材を使っています。でも、スーパーでおいしそうな半額の惣菜を見つけるとたまに買ってしまうので、有機的な食に強いこだわりが強い方にはつらいかもしれません。
夫婦共に元々国内外でウーファーをしていました。とても楽しく刺激的な経験だったので、私たちの暮らしの共有も誰かにとって役に立つものになることを願っています。色々なことに興味をもって一緒に楽しんでくれる人に会いたいです。
