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)
私たちは、自分たちでできることをなるべく自分たちでプロデュースするようにしています。例えば、ゴミになるはずのものを使って違うものを作ったり、自分たちで治せるものは治したりして日々たくさんのことを学んでいます。私たちのゴールは他の人に頼らず、可能な限り自分たちで何でもできるようになることです。それを通じて生活の質向上を目指しています。
Example of Lifestyle (English)
Our goal is to be as self sufficient as possible, producing as many products on the farm as we can. We take products that are typically seen as waste, and turn them into new products to sell in our shop. We are always learning new skills, such as repairing cars, building chicken houses etc so we are less reliant on the outside world. Through these principles, we believe we are increasing the quality of life and its meaning.

Message To WWOOFers In Japanese
私たちは、新しい持続可能なビジネスモデルの創造やシステムの改善、新しいアイデアや事業を探求するために様々なことを吸収したいと考えている人を探しています。
以前はWWOOFを短期滞在で利用していましたが、この方法は私たちの目標やスタイルに合っていないと感じました。そこで私たちは方法を変え、長期滞在によってお互いに実りある時間を過ごしたいと考えています。私たちはすでに安定したビジネスと土地、動物、設備が揃っています。したがってあなたはスタートアップからではなく、実際にビジョンに向かいある程度進んでいる私たちの環境を利用することで、多くのアイデアや実践を試し経験することができます。そして農業を始めるために必要なことをリスクなく学び、将来に生かすことができます。また、私たちは、一次産業から飲食業、宿泊業、DIYなど多岐にわたる分野を手掛けています。そのため、あなたが学びたいと思っていることだけでなく、予期せぬところで他の分野とふれあい、それらのつながりを知る事ができるかもしれません。
最終的にはビジネス・パートナーシップにつながるような長期的な関係を築きたいと考えています。つまり、あなたが思い描く持続的に繁栄・拡大していく事業を応援するために、あなたの時間と熱意と引き換えに、私たちはあらゆるアドバイスやサポート、設備、道具を提供することができます。
単刀直入に言えば、WWOOFingの主な目的がインスタグラムの経験や観光、予算内で日本を旅行することであるならば、私たちはあなたのための場所ではありません。
Message To WWOOFers In English
We are looking for someone who is looking to absorb themselves in what it takes to create new sustainable business models, to improve systems and explore new ideas and ventures. Previously we have used WWOOF for short term candidates, and feel that ultimately this style has not fit our goals. We are therefore changing our approach and looking for a candidate who is looking for a long term opportunity to work alongside an established business that has resources including land and starting stock of animals, to further establish and develop the land and animal flocks to establish a sustainable and ethical farming enterprise. The opportunity will allow someone to be introduced to many ideas and practices, and give them a risk-free entry into what it takes to start farming. By proxy, you will also be introduced to our other ventures where you can learn different revenue potential and ways to use the products that are farmed. We are looking to establish a long-term relationship with someone that ultimately could lead into a business partnership. Basically we can offer all the advice, support, facilities and tools in return for someones time and enthusiasm that will see a fruitful business flourish and expand over the years.
To be blunt, if your main intention of WWOOFing is just for the instagram experience, sightseeing and to travel Japan on a budget, we are not the venue for you.
