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

私たちは、有機農業だけではなく、自然と調和した暮らしそのものを大切にしています。

農薬や化学肥料を使わずにミディトマトやアスパラガスを育て、できるだけ環境への負荷を減らす生活を実践しています。洗剤やシャンプーを使わない暮らし、プラスチックをなるべく使わない工夫、生ごみをミミズコンポストで堆肥化すること、太陽光発電による電力の自給、自分たちで家を建てるセルフビルド、羊毛断熱材など自然素材の活用など、日々試行錯誤を続けています。

私たちは「完璧なエコ」を目指しているわけではありません。楽しみながら、できることを少しずつ増やしていくことを大切にしています。

農作業だけでなく、DIYや家庭菜園、コンポスト、自然な暮らし、アウトドア、釣り、料理、ピザ作り、英語や異文化交流などに興味がある方であれば、きっと楽しく過ごせると思います。分からないことは遠慮なく質問してください。お互いに学び合える時間になれば嬉しいです。

一方で、便利さや快適さを最優先にしたい方には向かないかもしれません。田舎暮らしなので虫が出ることもありますし、暑い日や雨の日にも農作業があります。また、セルフビルド中の家もあり、都会のホテルのような環境ではありません。

自然の中で体を動かし、新しいことを学び、さまざまな国の人たちと交流したい方を歓迎します。一緒に食事をしたり、季節によっては釣りやピザ作りを楽しんだりしながら、思い出に残る時間を過ごしましょう。
We believe that sustainable living is about more than organic farming—it’s a way of life.

We grow organic tomatoes and asparagus without using pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and we try to reduce our impact on the environment in our everyday life. I don’t use household detergents or shampoo, avoid plastic whenever possible, compost our food scraps with worms, generate electricity with solar panels, and are self-building our home using natural sheep’s wool insulation.

We don’t aim to be perfect. Instead, we enjoy learning, experimenting, and finding practical ways to live more sustainably, one step at a time.

If you’re interested in organic farming, DIY projects, composting, sustainable living, gardening, fishing, cooking, wood-fired pizza, nature, or cultural exchange, you’ll probably enjoy your stay here. We love sharing ideas and learning from people with different backgrounds, so don’t hesitate to ask questions or share your own experiences.

Our place may not be the best fit if you’re looking for a highly comfortable or luxurious stay. We live in the countryside, so you’ll occasionally encounter insects, work outdoors in different weather conditions, and see ongoing self-build projects around the property.

We’re looking for open-minded, curious, and positive people who enjoy nature, don’t mind getting their hands dirty, and are excited to experience everyday life on a small organic farm in rural Hokkaido. We hope we’ll learn from each other and create memorable experiences together.

Our dream is to create a place where people from around the world can connect with nature, local food, and each other. We believe that protecting the environment begins with enjoying and appreciating it. Through farming, sharing meals, fishing, making wood-fired pizza, and simply spending time together, we hope you’ll experience the beauty of rural Japan and become part of that journey.
WE ARE ACCEPTING WWOOFers
繁忙期は過ぎて来ましたが、条件次第で受け入れ可能です。
The peak season has passed, but depending on the conditions, we can accommodate you.
