✔️ About us
It is a simple farm where the close friends did return to farming in 2012. We take care of the gardens slowly and slowly with the heart of a mother and sister. The main crops are blueberries and beekeeping, and field crops such as perilla seeds, garlic, peppers, and mixed grains are cultivated. We believe that that the way of agriculture and farmers is to save nature and life, so we are actively working on eco-friendly farming that does not use herbicides, pesticides, and chemical fertilizers to create a beautiful rural culture. After returning to farming, we share our small philosophy by hosting “Travel programs with teenager” twice a year in connection with the Seoul Youth Center. I hope our simple philosophy will be shared with Woofers as well.

✔️ Farming Experience Since 2012

✔️ Host Type
Farm based on ecological recycling agriculture An eco-friendly farm that mainly focuses on blueberries and beekeeping

✔️ Main Crop Beekeeping, blueberries, perilla seeds, bracken, vegetable from the gardens

✔️ Farming Method
Although it is still insufficient, I would like to practice the philosophy of natural farming as much as possible. We do not use any herbicides, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers, and we would like to farm to save the ground and underground life with No till farming (No till, Zero till, Pasture).

✔️ Organic Lifestyle
