Our aim as a farm in implementing JGAP is to produce safe food, preserve the natural environment and improve the working environment so that we can build a relationship of trust among producers, distributors and consumers.

Our company grows rice in the uplands of Aizu.

The efforts of our staff to raise awareness regarding environmental conservation, work safety, improved working conditions and food safety in the rearing of healthy pigs were finally rewarded and we received this third party certification.

In the eight years since the company was incorporated, we have keenly felt the drastic changes affecting agriculture, and the difficulty of farm management in the face of a violent natural environment.

We work with people with disabilities to grow vegetables and rice, and to rear chickens to provide free-range eggs.

We are concentrating on sixth-level industry (processed agricultural products).

Although I only started farming recently, in my previous job I was involved in ISO-level production process management, so I through that it would be good if there was something similar for farming, and after some hunting I discovered GAP.

Located near Iizaka hot springs, 3~4 minutes from the Iizaka Interchange, our orchard is mainly a husband-and-wife operation, with some hired help as necessary.

My father started growing fruit in 1955, and I'm the second generation to run the orchard.

We always do our best to provide safer and more reassuring rice, and to do that we keep our farm clean and tidy.
