✔️ About us

As a native of Jeju, about 10 years ago, I deciede to start farming with the dream of becoming a farmer to save soil, and produce healthy food. Now we are managing 6611 m² the organic certified tangerines.

When I wanted to give up everything after getting a sick at the age of 40, I dreamed of a small farm and bought an orchard around my house with pretty stone walls . Since then I have been doing the eco-friendly farming step by step. My husband has other job but he helps to do weeing, my two sons harvest together and I do the overall rest of the works.

Now the children are adults. A few years ago, I built a new house and ran a small natural dyeing workshop. And I completed a healing agricultural course to make the farm where people can live together.

✔️ Farming Experience Since 2013

✔️ Farm Type The Farm Producing and selling agricultural products

✔️ Main Crop Organic-certified noji tangerines

✔️ Farming Method

I dream of a sustainable life. People say to me why you live so hard, but I like my path to walk to.

Although we don’t harvest a big amount of tangarines becuase as an government certified organic farm, we should use certified compost, we think to save the life on the soil first and grow the tangerines to use their shells.

✔️ Organic Lifestyle

I try to act to think about the future and the world where the children can smile. I’m taking care of the very small things in our usual life, such as recycling, turning off the lights and reducing the garbage.

At our small natural dyeing workshop, we recycled used clothes ,dyeing them through Jeju’s persimmon. And we provide to chance to reduce frequent washing by using natural dyeing bedding.

In addition, there is Gotjawal(National Park in Jeju) in the village, we are more considering to protect the environment. I’m a village firefly commentator and a member of the community of the village and I recommend eco-friendly farming to nearby farms as much as possible.
