Green farm/white farm.

By dennis

Winter has come early. The first snow of the season has sparked the Niseko powder virus. Now with 6 months of white landscapes and cold ahead of us, we all look ahead to  those magical turns in deep Niseko powder.

Okra

By dennis

A member of the hibiscus family. Okra has beautiful flowers and attracts many insects. Easily used as an ornamental plant in the garden and tasty also.

Fresher than fresh.

By dennis

Together with EN-Dining, Niseko Green Farm organized a great experience for our Hong Kong and Taiwanese guests. Our organic vegetables were hand picked and even the potatoes dug up and instantly and professionally cooked up by chefs Naoki and Jerrod.

A cooking class in Japanese cuisine and food right of the land. Fresher than fresh.

Our Mirai corn and Hokkaido scallops were by far the favourites of the bbq.

It’s hot, it’s chili.

By dennis

Chilis come in a wide variety of shapes, colours and hotness. These chilis make a great border or pot plant and are handy to have around when you want to spice up your life a bit.

Purple bean.

By dennis

The lack of sunlight and dry days didn’t do much good to our purple friends here. Their season got terminated a bit prematurely, but we got some others coming on the way for autumn.

With the warm and wet weather from the past 6 weeks lots of leafy green are struggling  and sending prices up. Even the fish are struggling and fishermen are not really catching any fish. Sanma, usually a cheapy, is rated at ¥800 and scallops and other shell fish are looking to get pretty pricey  over the next months.

Summertime.

By dennis

August in Hokkaido and Niseko Green Farm is looking rather green.   Doing the transition from conventional farming to fully organic is quite interesting, to see how all you produce is responding to grow the natural way. Not relying on the chemical boosts means sometimes slower growth, lower yields, later harvests and some more disappointments here and there.  But when things do work out it is hard to beat the taste of organic vegetables right of the land.

Thank you for Supporting Niseko Green farm and buying or produce. We are working hard to get better and better.

Enjoy your summer!
