築１２０年以上の４０年放置された古民家を多くの仲間の協力でセルフビルドして住んでいます。ご飯は、毎日かまど炊きして家族みんなで一緒にご飯たべる。冬は、間伐材を利用して薪ストーブを使って、廃材をリサイクルして建築し、薪風呂とソーラーパネル温水器でお風呂に入っています。トイレは、コンポストトイレ。生ごみを、菌ちゃん農法、馬糞堆肥を田畑で使用している。馬との暮らしを実践して田畑の馬耕、馬搬、子どもたちに乗馬体験、引き馬を取り入れたフリースクールを仲間の家族としています。都会からの農家民宿、山村留学も受け入れています。移住してきた人達と、昔ながらの馬と人の手作業でシェア米を作る、CSAを主催しています。
We live in a 40-year-old house that was more than 120 years old and has been self-built with the cooperation of many friends. Rice is cooked in a furnace every day and eaten together by the whole family. In winter, we use thinned wood to build a wood-burning stove using recycled wood, and we use a wood-burning bath and a solar-paneled water heater to take a bath. The toilet is a composting toilet. Food waste, fungus farming, and horse manure compost are used in the fields. Practicing living with horses, ploughing the fields, carrying horses, riding for children, and pulling horses．We have a free school with a family of friends. We also accept farmhouse guesthouses from the city and study abroad in mountain villages. We are hosting a CSA that makes shared rice with the people who have immigrated, which is made by hand by old-fashioned horses and people.

It is a house where people live a farming life, live in a self-built house, live with horses, and work to create a place for children to live with everyone in the community, and meet various people.
I don't have a smartphone and Wi-Fi, but I make a PC with a mobile phone and a wired LAN. The sewage is infiltrated in my own home, so I use environmentally friendly soap, shampoo, and detergent. Basically, you take a bath with a solar water heater and firewood.
