Grow, create, and laugh! The Make Farm Project is bringing dreams to life. We're recruiting members for this adult farm project. This isn't just a simple agricultural experience. We're building a "dream laboratory" for adults, set in this land with 800 years of history. Right now, what we see before us is barren land. Over the next few years, however, our mission is to transform it into a theme park dotted with treehouses and toasts with homemade craft beer. We invite you to join us as we build this magnificent future. Why not start by experiencing the history of this land and tasting its greatest bounty, the newly harvested rice? We're looking for people to help connect this 800-year history to the future. This black-and-white photo represents the history of this land, which we cherish. We want to work with you to create a "utopia" where we coexist with nature on this land, protected by our ancestors. It's not just about growing vegetables; it's about fostering community and promoting the region's appeal to the future. We're looking for people who will think about the future of Mushio no Kamado beyond just participating in the experience. We're introducing our "Weekend Farming Experience," a special event where you can enjoy the most delicious rice cooked in a kamado (traditional Japanese cooking stove). For those of you who feel like, "If I'm going to go, I want to eat the most delicious food!", we've prepared a special "All-You-Can-Eat Kamado-Cooked Rice Balls" event. The fluffy, glossy rice offers an unforgettable taste. After working up a sweat in the soil, be sure to savor the freshly cooked rice balls to your heart's content. It's not just about eating. Why not experience the joy of cultivating the soil and harvesting vegetables with your own hands in a farming experience that's hard to find in the city? Spend a special day experiencing the earth and rice. Located in Yokoshibahikari Town, Chiba Prefecture, Mushio no Kamado is an extraordinary world, far removed from the hustle and bustle of the city. We offer a special experience where you can touch the soil, work up a sweat, and savor delicious rice to your heart's content in the pristine landscape of Japan. ◎ The dynamic excitement of tilling the earth What was once a fertile rice field is now waiting for you to breathe new life into it. The experience of clearing barren land and turning it into farmland is truly dynamic! Experience the joy of creating something with your own hands while feeling the smell of the soil and the warmth of the sun. ・A mindfulness experience of "mowing grass without thinking" ・A "digital detox" holiday ・Time in nature to refresh your mind and body Why not create unforgettable memories of rural life in Yokoshibahikari Town?
