Kyoto Farm-to-Table Immersion

About this experience

Spend a week on a family-owned organic farm on the outskirts of Kyoto, learning the centuries-old practice of satoyama — the sustainable management of the land between mountain and village. You will sow, tend, and harvest seasonal vegetables, prepare traditional meals with your host family, and take part in a community market where farmers sell their produce directly to local residents. The farm runs entirely without synthetic pesticides or fertilisers, and is certified organic by the Japan Organic and Natural Foods Association.
