✔️ About us

Our farm is a farm that contains the meaning of sincerity, content, and conviction, and is being raised by two young people who returned to farming because we wanted to live in rural areas. With the goal of realistic settlement in rural areas, we are exploring and challenging practical agriculture and ways of life.

After learning agriculture for two years at an educational farm that educates eco-friendly agriculture, we grow flowers as our main crop. We belong to the ‘Hongseong Flower Federation’, which studies flower farming with young farmers and are a member of the ‘Hongseong Organic Farming Association Corporation’, which is famous for its organic special zone.

We want to be a wwoofer host who can exchange various thoughts and cultures, and convey the richness of Korean rural areas.
