Kaida Kogen Organic Farm Tour (Harvesting highland vegetables, eating organic and heirloom vegetables)

During the organic farming experience, you can get a first-hand feel for farming methods that harness the natural cycle. You will get to touch the soft, fluffy soil that does not rely on chemical fertilizers, and the experience will begin with sowing seeds and planting seedlings. Since no pesticides are used, tasks like hand-weeding can be labor-intensive, but the real reward lies in being able to directly experience the vitality of the crops. During the growing season, you will harvest fresh, vibrant vegetables. By tasting freshly harvested produce on the spot and connecting with the farmers' heartfelt efforts, you can enjoy a deeply enriching experience that deepens your appreciation for food safety and the environment.

About me

Started farming in 2020, beginning with a home vegetable garden. In 2021, we mainly grew Ingen tomatoes.We grow the native varieties Kaidana cucumber and Kaidana gourd. In 2022, we leased fields in three regions and grew crops suitable for each area.We grow crops with a focus on seed production and provide seeds to farmers. Operate as a farming experience in 2023.Teach farming to 2–3 people. In 2024, I will make mochi rice cakes with my friends. By 2025, work with farmers who have relocated through farm apprenticeships I started with the desire to feed my children with peace of mind, but now my life's purpose is to bring the powerful taste of this vegetable to everyone in the region.The goal is to grow vegetables that my wife, who is a cook, can use.
