Description
We (Tatsuya and Sho) inherited 1ha(2.5acre) of mountain field and an old Japanese traditional house 2 years ago in Shizuoka, where we live with our daughter Mon(age 4) and a black cat. We are planning to reproduce field and orchard in organic way to grow vegetables, and to renovate an old house and a guest house with natural materials.
We finished a big honeymoon (2015~2017 around the world) and came back to Japan.
During 2years honeymoon, we did Workaway / WWOOFing in Japan, U.S, Spain, Germany and Morocco.
we met various kinds of people and shared stories with them.
We saw how people live, what people believe.
And this time, we would like to share the experience in our place.
