✔️ About us
A couple, who had pursued eco-friendly life in the city, moved to Yangpyeong to start self-sufficient farming life in the spring of 2017. We plant various plants needed for our daily diet and learn about farming aiming at self-sufficient farmer. We are also interested in native seeds and participate in meeting where members share, reproduce and re-share native seeds. We would like to keep thinking about sustainable life and farming.

✔️ Farming Experience Since 2017

✔️ Farm Type 40 kinds of vegetables 1,133㎡

✔️ Main Crop
Sweet potatoes, potatoes, native beans, eggplants, Korean chili peppers

✔️ Farming Method
Self-sufficient small farm based on natural farming philosophy

✔️ Organic Lifestyle
In order not to use disposable products, we always bring our own tumbler and tableware. We make natural fertilizer with urine and spread them to plants. We produce fertilizer with our food waste. When there are too many bugs on plants to catch them all by hands, we apply organic materials on them. We use natural soaps to wash and detergent bought from consumer cooperatives. We make compost with food waste.
