✔️ About us
I have come to the countryside and farmed for 10 years and also a head of a village for 4 years to volunteer and help the elderly people in this village to farm with more comfortable ways by improving their lives.
We have started ‘Rice Farming without Seedbed’, which is using the manless helicopter for rice farming.
We also farm about 10ha with pond snails without pesticides and natural farming such as Chokeberry, Honey berry, and Hovenia berry.
Since 2017, we have practiced ‘Gyeongbuk village farming’, so we work for the elderly famers. We are growing potato and house melon to earn as small works for people in the village.
