Rental Farm

I'm interested in growing up vegetables, so I had been looking for rental farm. At last, we found some near iias Tsukuba. See the Map. You can see Yoshiwara Farm, Gakuen Farm 1,2,3,4, Arai Farm.

The rental fee is

5 坪 (5tsubo*=16.5m2) 5000 yen / year

10坪 (10tsubo*=33m2)9600 yen / year　

(*1 tsubo means width of 2 Tatamis = 3.3 m2) I rented 5 tsubo, it is about 5 steps long and 5 steps wide with my legs.

The farm has water well that you can wash your hands and vegetables anytime, and you can use shovel, spade, other agricultural equipment for free. There is a very experienced coach in Yoshiwara Farm, he is 80 years old, and a specialist of organic farming. I sometimes ask him how to do and what vegetables is good to plant.

If you have some questions call or e-mail to Taniguchi san. He is a coordinator of the farm.
