I wanted to be a farmer since I was a kid. I studied at Tokyo University of Agriculture and was dispatched to Paraguay as a Japan Overseas Cooperation Volunteer (a vegetable cultivation instructor). After that, I have worked for an organic vegetable wholesale company, but I still had a strong desire to grow vegetables in my own field without using pesticides. So I made it!

I started lemon farming in Ikuchijima, Hiroshima at the age of 70 after I retired from a local ship building company at 68. People used to say lemon farming makes little business sense because it needs a large amount of fertilizer and lemon trees need to be planted on a steep slope to get enough sunshine, which makes the farmer's work much harder. I have been taking care of my farm without using chemical fertilizer and pesticides. We also never use preservatives and wax when we ship our lemons.

Other farmers called me "stranger" or "reckless" when I started, but the trees started to bear large lemons after around three years. Today, I grow about 50 lemon trees and produce safe lemons, which you can eat with its peel.

Honey from several types of flowers is harvested locally, and the harvested honey is pure honey. It gets filtered for dust and impurities. That is all.

In recent years, the number of bees has decreased due to changes in the environment. The loss of bees has a great impact on our human lives.

I am th eldest son of a farming family from Niigata. I was disabled by polio when I was 2 years old. That didn't stop me from being a farmer. I am growing rice, vegetables and grains, but without any agricultural chemicales. It is pure natural farming. It is my passion, because I love nature, especially the rich soil of my farm.
When I was a child, I played in the river. I oftern fished, and loved rolling around in the rice paddies.
When I was in elementarly school, an accident occurred to the carps my great grandfater kept. Many of the carps' eyes popped out and their backs were horribly bent. It was a sad memory. We found out that this had been caused by the wastewater from nearby factories.
In my thirties, I could start smelling an unnatural muddy odor from the rice fields around my house. Once again, I was confronted to the many damages chemicals were causing to nature.
Every year I try to improve my soil and my crops. One day, I saw the story of Mr. Kimura and his Miracle Apple. He is known as a great farmer who grows the most wonderful all natural apples. It inspired me. It convinced me that natural farming methods was the only way to go. It is challenging but I love with a passion the work I do.

Our farmhouse runs organic farming for two generations. We used to be traditional farmers, but our mother got sick because of the pesticides used in our greenhouses. We reconsidered and concluded that pesticides were not good for the health and switched to organic farming. The second generation decided to grow vegetables without the use of organic fertilizers. By adding good bacteria such as fermented lactic acid bacteria and yeast to the soil, we can grow even more delicious and durable crops.
We think it is strange that farmers would grow plants using chemicals that would kill the insects and animals around them. That is why we stopped using pesticides and made our own natural fertilizer such as compost, rice husk, green manure, and organic fertilizer.
Every year we cultivate different crops in the same field by alternating them. Our soil is rich in  carbon materials (green manure such as wood chips, rice husks, wheat, etc.) and microbial materials (yeast or bacillus, etc.) . We want to create a symbiotic relationship between the plants and the microorganisms.
Organic farmers don't always control the right amount of fertilizers used in the soil. By using too much fertilizers, they want to produce bigger sized vegetables and have a higher yield. However it makes the vegetables and insects sick. We want to promote a sustainable agriculture, by improving the taste of our vegetables and keeping a decent yield without any harm to the environment.
