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)
エネルギーの節約、利用できるものは長く使用するなど、ごみを減らせるよう意識して生活しています。
洗剤の利用等については、最近は以前よりも一般のものを使いがちな生活になってしまっているが、今、事業の変換点にきており、無理のない範囲でより環境に配慮した暮らし・経営を目指したいと思っています。
食事は、なるべく地域でとれる野菜を中心に、家で料理したものを食べていますが、忙しいために作り置きの活用や子どもがいない平日の昼食は手を抜くなど、一般的な育児中の家庭の現実もあります。
食へのこだわり具合は、自家製の味噌や塩こうじなどを使いますが、化学調味料をできるだけ減らす程度で、オーガニックの食材は少ないです。
料理は好きなので、食や料理の好きなウーファーさんとの情報交換や一緒に料理をするなどの機会も楽しみにしています。

Message To WWOOFers In Japanese
自然豊かな山里で、移住して米農家と農家民宿を始めた私たちの暮らしを一緒に体験してみませんか。
農業や田舎暮らしに興味がある方、宿やゲストハウスを始めてみたいなど宿泊業に興味のある方、地方移住を考えている方には、就農や起業のリアルもお話しできます。
小さな子どもがいるので、子どもが好きな方、一緒に遊んでくれる方、大歓迎です。
英語も生活するうえで必要な最低限のレベルでは話せますが、忙しい時期には英語しか話せないウーファーさんとの会話に難があると負担になりそうなので、ある程度日本語も使える方を希望します。
皆さんとの出会いを楽しみにしています。
