Hi, we are currently looking for hardworking friendly people to help during the 2013 farming season, from rice planting to harvesting with much in between. Come and join us!

More about what we do:
We grow rice, cherries, apples, peaches, corn and soy-beans on our farm here in Murayama-Shi in the middle of the very beautiful Yamagata Prefecture in the north part of Japan. We grow a premium rice without chemicals and more labour intensive traditional methods which we sell direct to the customer. Our orchards unfortunately are not organic, but we are researching ways to substitute natural sprays.
We also run a rice shop (in the family for about 6 generations) and deliver LP Gas and Heating oil to the local community, (You would not be expected to help with this side of the business though!) and I teach English too.
