- 1 Month Farm Course

Our  1 Month Farm Course  is for people who would like to join us for 4 weeks and learn more about our farming and permaculture techniques in-depth.   Participants will stay in one of our cabins, work daily with interns and our farm manager.  Our staff and interns will explain our basic farming techniques and give guests a chance to learn about organic farming while helping us prepare soils, plant seeds, water, weed and mulch crops, and harvest fresh vegetables and fruits for our kitchen.  Students have 2 days off a week for Outdoor Activities to explore our hiking trails, visit the lakes, and general free time.

During the course you will have a chance to work with our farm staff everyday in the fields and greenhouses, and learn about our ;

- planning process

- seeding and planting schedules

- organic pest control

- natural mulching

- harvesting and drying techniques

- rain water collection systems

- and more…

The cost of the course is　￥85,000　which includes room & board.

Participants should come ready to work in all weather, so bring a hat, boots, rain jacket, sun-block, etc. (and a swim suit for days off at the lake!).  We will provide futons but ask that you bring a sleeping bag. Spring and Fall are quite chilly in the evenings, so bring ample clothing.  Our accommodations are very simple and rustic, so be prepared for outdoor living.  More details about our facilities and the local activities are on our Guest House page.

Our education program is very informal, and it will be up to you to make the most of your time with us.  You will learn our farm methods by working with us, but be sure to ask lots of questions and read through our library of books for extra information.  Upon completing a 1 Month Farm Course, participants will receive an Earth Embassy Farm Course certificate of completion.
