Location
| "HATA" town which I live in is located in the west of MATSUMOTO CITY in NAGANO prefecture. (In NAGANO prefecture the next winter Olympic game will be
held.) I care more than 1200 apple trees.

Good taste
HATA is the land which suited apple growing. In HATA the difference between
temperature at noon and temperature at night is big. Generally, in the
big difference of temperature, the fruit tightens up and becomes good taste
|
Safe
I try to cultivate apples with the reducing agricultural chemicals.
Now I reduce 30 percent of spraying quantity of the chemicals than the
area average. And I always challenge to reduce chemicals. For example,last
year I challenged the use of the pheromone trap. It is because The safe
food is good for the body. Japanese consumer is looking for the safe food.

to keep quality
I scatter calcium (broken shell) on the orchard in the summer. It makes
fruits taste good,I think.
I harvest well matured apples and I send them immediately to the customer.Therefore,
apples are fresh.
To keep the quality, I limit an sales number by the reservation sale.(Domestic
only)

Who am I ?
 My major in the university was computer science. After college I worked
for publishing company as a staff editor for a few years until I returned
to the farm in 1989. Currently I am producing 1.2ha of apple.Is it small
? It is the average size in Japan.
The agriculture is the difficult work which is influenced by the the weather
and the climate. In these 3 or 4 years I struggled against the natural
disaster,hail,dryness,the damage from cold weather and so on . I feel the
great Nature which can not resist.
But when the season of the harvest, the good apple grow, I become full
of the gratitude to the nature. The sun and rain and natural mercy are
concentrated into the small fruit, the apple. It is the greatest gift from
Nature.
