農薬や化学肥料などを使わず、お米や野菜を作っています。田植えも稲刈りも手作業です。鶏がいて、山羊がいて、うまくいけばハチミツもとれます。お肉はイノシシや鹿を山で獲って加工しており、ジビエ料理です。山菜をとったり、こんにゃくや豆腐や味噌など手作りも楽しんでいます。なるべくゴミを出さない、自給自足の暮らしを目指しています。
We live in the country side of Hiroshima, Japan. I do the rice and vegetable farming and my husband work as a TV producer and a hunter. There is a direct bus from our town to the city center of Hiroshima (very close to the A-bomb dome). It takes 2 hours. You can enjoy both city and country side. We welcome wwoofers from around the world. We have two children and would like them to have international experience.
WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
