Ｗｅ visited Ikuko, Robin and their young son Kazuo in Lewes over the weekend. They run their own company, Namayasai, growing various Japanese vegetables on 8 acres of land using a natural farming method. A lot of hard work weeding 8 acres by hand! Even using a selective weeding method it still takes time. They had 6 volunteers working with them, mostly young Japanese people.
We learned a great amount from them, especially in the way that they organize their work and learn from past experience and data. It is great to meet people who are dedicating their time to making something work that at times seems impossible. A wonderfully inspiring visit that we hope to repeat in the not-too-distant future. Thankyou Ikuko & Robin!
