Ametsuchi Farms
Our village of Tsumagoi, in central eastern Japan, is surrounded by beautiful mountains and volcanoes.
The landscape is old Japan just as it used to be, where people live in harmony with the ecosystem around them.
The village is alive with gifts from nature: the sky that reflects the changing seasons; the sight of a hawk swooping down; the voices of birds, bugs, and frogs singing from fields and forests. This is where we practice agriculture that fully utilizes the power of nature.
We use the delicious, safe, nutritious produce that we grow to prepare food using traditional local methods.
Our main products are available year-round.
We also have seasonal products made from fresh produce that are
only available at limited times and in limited quantities.
We pride ourselves on easy-to-use food products that everyone
can trust.

Tsumagoi Village is a gift from nature. Is sits surrounded by mountains including Mt. Asama, with indelible scenery teeming with life. Here the skies change in radiance with the seasons. The plains and forests echo with the calls of birds, frogs, and the whispers of bugs while overhead hawks grace the skies. It is in a place like this we decided to harness nature to its fullest potential and begin farming.
We farm on land rejuvenated with our own plant-based foundation and use only seeds carefully selected from our own plants. We use compost derived from our own land and sediment and use companion planting to control weeds. We carefully pay attention to the environment, climate, even the movements of the sun and moon to grow crops without using any chemicals, fertilizers, animal manures, or pesticides.
On this kind of farm, we use traditional methods to produce
safe, beautiful, and nutritious vegetables.
"Standard products" made throughout the year
"Seasonal / limited quantity products" made using
seasonal crops for each season.
We strive to deliver simple and safe food to all consumers.
