Explore a rice farm that has been nourishing the local community for over fifty years. As you admire the mountains mirrored in the water, engage in farm work firsthand. In fields maintained by his grandfather, a young farmer in his twenties—his grandson—will share insights into cultivation techniques, decision-making, and his commitment to quality.
The experience evolves with the seasons. During planting, plant rice; during harvest, gather it. These activities are unique to that time and place. Name the rice you plant—this is more than just work; it’s a way to reconnect with food.
After a brief hands-on experience, join the farmers for a simple picnic under the clear blue sky. Enjoy rice balls made from their harvest, accompanied by local side dishes. While they may not speak much, their profound respect for the land, rice, and those who consume it is quietly evident.
