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)
住まいは森の中にあり、セルフビルドのログハウスに住んでいます。
動物たち(ペットや家畜)が身近にいる生活をしています。
私たちは朝は早く起きて放牧場へ仕事をしに行き、昼休憩をとって午後5時ぐらいには仕事を終え、8時ごろには寝てしまいます。テレビはありません。
私たちは外食やファーストフードも食べたりしますが、なるべくケミカルなものは避けた食生活を心がけています。

Message To WWOOFers In Japanese
我が家は豚と牛の放牧場を経営しているので、動物好きな人に来ていただきたいです。
仕事は動物の世話や放牧場の整備など、自然の中での仕事になります。生活も森の中ですので自然が苦手な方は難しいです。
新しくログハウスを建設予定なので大工仕事できる方も歓迎です。
パートナーと2人での小規模経営ですが、動物たちと賑やかに暮らしています。こんな暮らしを楽しんでもらえたらと思います。
Message To WWOOFers In English
We want people who love animals to come. Because we run a pasture for pigs and cows.
The jobs we can provide are jobs in nature, such as caring for animals and maintaining pastures.
We live in the forest, so if you don't like nature, it's very difficult to participate as a wwoof.
We are planning to build a new log house, so those who can do carpentry are also welcome.
We are a small business run by two people, but we live a lively life with animals. I hope you enjoy it.
