Field notes
The homepage organizes the farm’s story as a sequence of four-panel episodes, moving from family history to crop timing, cultivation practice, and purchase routes. Tomatoes are associated with a 23-year cultivation history, while the Harusouseki watermelon has a much narrower May–June harvest period. The page also points visitors toward BASE, three flea-market services, hometown-tax listings, and social channels showing the fields.
