Japanese February 19, 2007 Sato's Organic vegetable farm |
|
We had a very warm day today. I visited Sato's organic vegetable farm after a long time. They periodically bring us organic vegetables. | |
In the greenhouse,I found unusual water vegetable for
salad. Other greens like Ruccola and Italian parsley were growing healthy as
well. We enjoyed good time beside the farm over the aroma of coffee. I have to stop the chatting not so as to disturb their work, however. |
|
I walked around the farm. Many kinds of vegetables were growing very healthy. | |
Big broccoli was guarded by thick leaves. I love almost all vegetables except broccoli, but it was really sweet. I soon became a fan of broccoli cropped at the farm. | |
Sato's spinach is always wonderful. It is very soft and if you boil it so long time, it will be dissolved into the boiling water. The spinach is one of our favorites. | |
There are so many unusual western vegetables in the farm. Among them I found "kohlrabi", a sort of cabbage. The name derives from German, "Khol" as cabbage and "Rabi" as turnip. This is to be called "Cabbage turnip." It is good for salad and soup, they say. | |
The vegetables are cropped from the soil and cut the route and then washed before the shipment. The farming work is very hard after all. My friends still enjoy their rich fulfilled days by running the healthy organic farm. They are growing organic vegetables in order to decrease the global environmental pollution as much as they can. | |
The rape blossoms were almost in the full bloom in the near by fields. |

In the glory of sunset, I returned home with fresh organic vegetables in hand. Thank you very much Sato's Farm for your kindness of supplying us good products and gentle farming to our planet earth. |
