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)
タバコは吸わない、利用できるものは長く使用している、物をリサイクルしている、多面的の環境整備の会計兼草刈泥上作業従事者等ボランティア活動をしている。
夜明けとともに起床し、朝(食)、昼(食)、夕(食)、昼休み等の概念にとらわれずに生活仕事をしている。
令和7年からBLOF理論「Bio Logical Farming:生態系調和型農業理論」に基ずく農業を実践中。高栄養、高品質、高収量の取り組み。秋田県初、食用ほおずき世界初?
「あきたこまち」新米、我家の備蓄米は食べ放題。
職業は農業であるが、農業の意識は薄く「農生産物生産販売栽培研究自由業」的感覚である。
