This week we are off to visit a natural farm in Nara Prefecture. It's quite exciting for me to finally see a farm like this in action. I've read two of Masanobu Fukuoka's books, and find his ideas intriguing. I promise to write more when we return early next week!
Words about farmers markets, gardening, food and whatever else catches my fancy.

I'm so excited you are getting to visit this farm! I can't wait to read all about it.
Thanks, Chrissie! It was really fantastic and I learned so much. I've pitched the story out to a magazine, which is why I'm holding off on writing about it here. Although, I will try to find a way. I hate to be sitting on all of this for so long!
