九州の山の中で、パーマカルチャーの暮らし。食べられる森づくり。自然の移り変わりを感じながら暮らしています。周囲には豊かな自然、蜜蜂やニワトリもいます。近くにバス停もあり、自然の中ですがアクセスは比較的便利です。
私たちは、なるべく自然に寄り添った暮らしを大切にしています。自然に還せるものを使い、体と心が心地よくいられる暮らしを目指しています。
ここでは、野菜作りや米作りなどの農作業、建築や手作業などを一緒に行います。日々の暮らしの中で、土に触れ、手を動かしながら学び合う時間があります。
来てほしいのは、
・共同生活を大切にできる人
・農やDIYに興味がある人
・手を動かすことが好きな人
・自然が好きな人

です。

反対に、
・虫が苦手な人
・土に触れる作業が苦手な人
・便利さを求める人
・スマホやネット中心の生活をしたい人
には合わないかもしれません。

ここでは、自然と共に生きる感覚、土に触れる豊かさ、そして心と体を整える暮らしを体験できます。
ただ作業をするだけではなく、暮らしそのものを一緒に楽しめる方との出会いを楽しみにしています。

We live in the mountains of Kyushu, Permaculture lifestyle
Creating an edible forest surrounded by beautiful nature and the changing seasons. We keep bees and chickens, and although we are in a natural environment, there is a bus stop nearby, so access is relatively convenient.

We value a lifestyle that stays as close to nature as possible. We try to use things that can return to the earth naturally, and we aim to create a way of living that feels good for both the body and the mind.

Here, we work together on farming activities such as growing vegetables and rice, as well as building projects and other hands-on work. Daily life here offers opportunities to touch the soil, use your hands, and learn together through experience.

We would love to welcome people who:
・Value communal living
・Are interested in farming or DIY
・Enjoy working with their hands
・Love nature

On the other hand, this place may not be suitable for people who:
・Dislike insects
・Do not enjoy working with soil
・Prefer convenience-oriented lifestyles
・Want to spend most of their time on smartphones or the internet

Here, you can experience living together with nature, the richness of working with the earth, and a lifestyle that supports both physical and mental well-being.

We are looking forward to meeting people who want not only to work, but also to truly share and enjoy this way of life together.
WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
６月より受け入れ開始します。
We will start accepting WWOOFers from June.
