✔️ About us

I have spent the last 20 years living abroad (in Europe and Singapore), and in 2022, I returned to Bonghwa with a desire to live a free and healthy life. I am currently in the preparation stages to cultivate a farm using permaculture methods, which I have been interested in since my time in Europe. In the future, I hope to integrate the principles of permaculture with health, nature-friendly environments, and education in science and art, creating a permaculture learning center.

I plan to gradually transform the adjacent field (approximately 25,000 square meters) into an educational and healing space, including walking paths for children. Drawing from my extensive experience living abroad, I find it easy to connect not only in terms of language with foreigners but also on an emotional level.

My family (husband and two university student children) only comes home on weekends, and they, too, are comfortable in communication with foreigners. As we raise dogs, cats, and chickens, those who are averse to animals may find it challenging to adapt. As a novice farmer, I am looking for someone to join me in the journey of trial and error.
