Harvesting Rice

The end of october, the end of the month of farmwork...

These four weeks, we harvested six middle-sized rice fields.

It's been three years since Jiyujin has started rice farming in Minami Uonuma.
Year by year, we made new attempts to grow organic and delicious Koshihikari rice with little agrichemicals. We've been trying traditional harvesting style of "Hazagake." Reaping rice, making sheaves and drying them naturally under the sun.

Of course, sundried rice tastes better than machine-dried rice.



Some of our Koshihikari rice (precisely, the rice which we helped for sundrying) is on sale at Jiyujin Club (Japanese only).
