The "Vegetable Field" seen from the road leading to "Sheep Farm" from "Talkative Straight Road" or from the bus stop of "Sheep Farm". In the large vegetable field of about 0.8 hectares on the ranch, this year we are planting three types of vegetables in order, in addition to onions, potatoes and pumpkins.
To acquire organic JAS certification, we do not use pesticides or chemical fertilizers, and grow vegetables using our own organic fertilizer "Megumi Tsuchi no Megumi". Seedlings growing in the sunlight and leaves swaying in the wind give the viewer a warm feeling. In addition, the wild harvest using a large tractor and the planting work with a large number of people are impressive! Information on the harvest and planting work schedule for the "vegetable field" will be posted on the official Twitter/Instagram account. looking forward to. See below for this year's plantings.
