About half organic
No
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
農業が中心の生活。極力農薬に頼らない農業を営んでいる。肥料は有機物を活用。たばこは吸わない。（職員は吸う人もいる）、再利用できるものを活用している。日々いろいろ勉強している。畑で取れたものを中心に料理を作っている。
Our lifestyle is based on agriculture. We use organic matters instead of chemical fertilizers and try not to rely on pesticides. I don't like to smoke. (Some workers like smoking). We usually fix and use old machineries because it's still usable. I often learn something new. Our meals are mainly cooked by what we produced.

こんにちは。僕たちは、ナスを初め、ズッキーニ、唐辛子、ニラ、ジャガイモ、そらまめ、キャベツ、ほうれん草、かぼちゃなど多品目野菜の生産を行っています。MEISHO FARMを始めて2年が経過しました。始める前は、様々な国で10年間農業を勉強していました。2017年にはニュージーランドにてウーファーとしても活動しました。その経験が今日にも活きているからこそ農業を楽しめています。ですが楽しいだけでなく、日本で農業をする上で難しいこともあります。なのでぜひ皆さんからサポートして頂けると嬉しいです。
そしてウーファーだったからこそウーファーの皆さんとお話ができることをとても楽しみにしています。一緒に楽しみましょう！！
Hello all! We grow multiple plants such as eggolants, zucchinis, chili peppers, chinese green chives, potatoes, broad beans, cabbages, spinaches, pumpkins and so on. I launched MEISHO FARM 2 years ago. Before it, I was visiting many farmers around the world for 10 years. I went to New Zealand, Philippines, Thailand, United States, Germany and Netherlands to study agriculture. Back in 2017, I was WWOOFing in New Zealand and had the same experience as what you did in WWOOF. The experience makes me having my own farm. It is not easy to practice farming here so I want your support! Also, I like to talk with WWOOFers! Let's enjoy living with us!
WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
