✔️ About us

In our farm, we have persimmon trees that have grown for 130 years and a naturally built pond. We are also the first persimmon farm to have a sales contract with department stores in Korea. Our farm not only produces agricultural products, but also provides a culture exchange program which emphasizes on regional and traditional foods. We make compost by fermenting with herbs.
