✔️ About us

In 2009, with the intention of practicing natural farming, I began cultivating a variety of fruits and vegetables on a 62,000-pyeong (approximately 20.5 acres) forested land in Yangpyeong, Gyeonggi Province. I planted fruit trees such as apples, peaches, plums, blueberries, and grapes, as well as wild edible plants like wild garlic, wild chwin, wild chives, and burdock. I practice natural farming without using fertilizers, animal manure, or compost, allowing the land to remain as close to its natural state as possible.

In addition, I grow sweet potatoes, potatoes, taro, perilla seeds, sesame, and various vegetables on a 2,000-pyeong (approximately 0.66 acres) field, all using natural farming methods. I also make naturally fermented vinegar from these crops. With the belief that “food is medicine,” I am committed to producing the highest quality ingredients to nourish the body and mind.
