Description

Hello!
We are a family that loves the earth.

In Japan, we grow all the vegetables we eat with no-tillage farming, and we live in harmony with nature as much as possible

I am Noa.
I started growing vegetables in 2004, and since 2009 I have practiced natural farming methods and started a life without using detergents and soaps.
I carefully use food such as vegetables without waste, and I make clothes and daily necessities that I can make by hand.
I cherish good quality items, repair them, and use them for a long time.
I am always grateful that we are allowed to use a part of the earth.

I am open and positive and always see the beauty and light in people and situations.
I love... children, plants, animals, the sea, soil, nature, making things, drawing pictures, and writing poetry.
Nature, life and creativity are my foundation.
Meditation and being myself are also important to me.

The earth is a big beautiful house. All life lives there. We are one big family. It would be great if I could meet a family who loves the earth that I haven't seen yet on my travels.

I am Haruta. I am Noa's son.
I'm 15 years old.
I love writing novels and playing tennis.
We lived with chickens and dogs. They are no more, but I have learned many important things from living with them.

I have been on the farm for 4 months tending cows and volunteering in the vegetable garden.

***
We are open minded, flexible and peaceful.

We would like to have cultural exchanges with various people and get in touch with the earth.
We are also very interested in sustainable living, alternative education, homeschooling in different countries,
