✔️ About us

I joined the Korean Catholic Farmers Association in 1980s and have been active since. In early days, I participated in the democratic movements and then changed its direction to the food movement in 1990s. After going through trial and error in the conventional farming, I found my own way in organic farming as a part of the life movement.

We grow about 10 types of crops on 3,000-pyeong farm and provide them to local school in Suncheon. I started farming in my late 30s and it became my vocation and my whole life.

✔️ Farming Experience

✔️ Farm Type Family farm (about 3,000 pyeong)

✔️ Main Crop Vegetable farming (radish, tomatoes)

✔️ Farming Method

When I started farming, I realized that the virtue of farming is to connect to nature. Then I have walked along my path as fate.

✔️ Organic Lifestyle

First of all we make our farming plan based on our own needs and then gradually grow more crops to provide to local school. Ultimately our consumer is our family.
