Welcome to our online shop.

We are an organic farm in Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture. We grow seasonal vegetables, pack them fresh after harvest, and deliver them directly to you using the CSA model.

Furthermore, we carefully cultivate organic flowers for each season, starting from seed. Please feel free to order bouquets.

To reduce waste, we have almost completely eliminated the use of plastic packaging materials.

We make compost using local resources like fallen leaves and weeds, and practice seedling warming using a traditional foot-trampled fermentation bed. In our fields, we create a dynamic environment where vegetables and weeds coexist, nurturing not just crops but also the lives of diverse insects and microorganisms.

We select and cultivate Japan's native vegetables and open-pollinated varieties, delivering them to you while also collecting seeds ourselves to pass on to the next generation. You might receive some unfamiliar vegetables, but don't worry—recipes to fully enjoy each one are included. Of course, we also grow foreign vegetables less common in Japan, so we can likely deliver that vegetable from your hometown too.

Our thoughts

Under the sun's watchful eye, we move our
bodies to till the fields and sow seeds, waiting for the nourishing rain. The
wind cools our sweaty bodies and carries the clouds of each season. Seasonal
handiwork increases time with family and friends, adds color to the table, and
when its purpose is fulfilled, it returns to the earth, becoming fertilizer for
the fields once more.

A life of handwork rooted in farming connects many things, circling round and
round, becoming a circle of life, a circle of people, growing ever more vibrant
and colorful.

It is like the flower hat of a dancer, forever twirling.

May the circle we dance in with all those connected by fate continue to spin
beautifully forever

Enriching the experience of eating

Are there days when you don't eat?

Humans are busy creatures with countless things to do beyond just living. Yet, like all other animals, we sustain our lives by eating.

As animals, the act of eating is paramount. Simply enriching this one aspect alone significantly elevates the foundation of a life's richness.

This doesn't mean buying and eating expensive food.
Eat food made by someone you care about.
Eating with someone you love.
Taking the time to truly feel what you experience while eating.
Observing how the food you eat affects your mind and body.
Just doing these things enriches the act of eating for yourself.

Doing this every day allows you to clearly hear your body's voice. You begin to cherish your body more deeply. Then, what you truly desire becomes clear.

Why not start by enriching your life through “eating”?

Vegetables we deliver

Eat seasonally

Japan experiences seasonal shifts and weather changes almost every month—spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the rainy season. Keeping up with these far-from-gentle seasonal transitions is quite a challenge for the body.

By observing seasonal flowers and plants, inhaling their scents, feeling the breeze, gazing at the sky, savoring seasonal vegetables with your tongue, and sensing the changing seasons through all five senses, your body naturally adapts to the succession of seasons. It regulates its own temperature and finds its rhythm more easily.

The vegetables we deliver are exclusively seasonal produce grown in nature's climate. Experience their powerful energy with your body.

You Can Eat the Whole Thing

Vegetables grown using only natural forces without chemicals are safe to eat entirely—including parts like the skin, core, and stem that are usually discarded. It's precisely these parts exposed to the outside world that are rich in phytochemicals, substances the vegetables produce themselves to survive. Eating them with the skin on lets you enjoy a rich flavor, provides plenty of nutrients to support your health, and reduces waste.

Direct from our farm

Farmers harvest the produce themselves and ship it via refrigerated delivery with minimal packaging, reducing plastic and paper wrapping to the absolute minimum. Because these vegetables are so full of vitality, leafy greens perk right up when soaked in lukewarm water and last longer than ordinary supermarket vegetables.

Furthermore, the leaves of daikon radishes and carrots—parts usually discarded—are highly nutritious and delicious. We want you to enjoy every part of these vegetables, leaving nothing to waste, so we deliver them with the leaves attached whenever possible.

The taste of nature

Amidst abundant nature, vegetables that seek their own nourishment and grow slowly and freely develop deeply concentrated flavors and aromas. Furthermore, the fields of Ame-Tsuchi-Hito, based in Hakushu and Mukawa nestled in the embrace of Mount Kaikoma, cultivate vegetables with astonishingly rich flavors. This is due to the extreme temperature differences between day and night and the mineral-rich underground water polished by granite.

This is precisely why vegetable-centric dishes become such a delight. Simply cut them into generous pieces, season with salt, and grill them slowly to draw out their maximum sweetness and umami. Delicious in simple preparations, requiring little effort. They also excel as the perfect accompaniment to meat or fish, elevating those dishes beautifully.

The flavor of each vegetable also gradually shifts and evolves, changing taste and character from the very beginning to the very end of its season. You can savor this joy of transformation through our subscription service.

How we grow vegetables

We do not use chemical substances.
We grow vegetables in harmony with nature, taking nature itself as our model.

Sunlight and rain pouring down from the sky nurture plants and trees. These plants and trees sustain the lives of insects and wild animals. Those insects and wild animals eat, are eaten, excrete, and complete their roles. Through fungi and tiny, invisible decomposers, the things that have fulfilled their purpose return to the soil. That soil then becomes the foundation for new life. It is the farmer's role to recreate this perfect natural cycle in the fields. Humans, too, are sustained within nature's grand cycle: we eat crops born from the soil, build homes from trees born from the soil, and wear fibers born from the soil.
As urbanization advances and the connection between people and nature is severed, we must gradually reclaim the harmonious way of life with nature that was once commonplace. To begin, we wish to grow vegetables according to nature's laws. By eating them, we believe we can restore physical and mental health, moving Japan closer to a society where people can live in peace.

Diversity

Natural ecosystems are made up of a huge variety of living creatures, both visible and invisible. Each creature has a completely different form and role to play, and so they sometimes attack each other and sometimes coexist. This "instability" and imperfect "fluctuation" prevents any one species from multiplying too much, and creates "stability" where various creatures can settle in places that are easy for them to live, using their own methods. Even fields created in nature for human convenience can create a diverse environment by being as close as possible to the mechanisms of nature.

By growing a variety of crops and allowing grass to grow in areas that can coexist with the crops, living creatures will gather, and sometimes insects and pathogens that pose a threat to the vegetables will also come.Even in such cases, by not relying on medicines, the vegetables' own immune system will be able to be exerted, resulting in strong, nutritious vegetables.

We will work on growing vegetables that are simple yet profound, by "recreating nature."

Circulate plant resources within the region

No country is as blessed with plant and animal diversity as Japan. Plants thrive vigorously in Japan's warm, humid climate throughout the changing seasons, sometimes treated as nuisances when they grow as weeds. Ancient farmers cultivated a wisdom of coexistence with plants: they cut these weeds to preserve the scenery around them, while also efficiently “returning” the cut vegetation to the soil to use it for growing crops. Following in the footsteps of these predecessors, we practice farming methods where everything returns to the soil. We utilize weeds that often get labeled as nuisances in fields, fallen leaves on roads, and neglected bamboo groves in forests. This approach allows us to preserve the local landscape while farming.

Home seed saving

Humans connect generations by bearing and raising children, but many plants, after producing offspring, drop their spent branches and leaves at their own feet. The remains of these branches and leaves nurture not only their own seeds but also the lives of seeds that have flown in. In other words, life circulates within the land. When people collect vegetable seeds and pass them on to the next generation, they are surrendering themselves to the eternal cycle of vegetable life. We practice this life-sustaining endeavor, a collaborative work between humans and vegetables..
