Inoue Nouen Furano, Hokkaido

Available all year round.

Inoue Farm is a farm run by the Inoue family, located in Furano, surrounded by mountains and subjected to a wide range of temperatures.

Chihiro-san, a newbie farmer who married into the Inoue family, learned about crop cultivation after living on the farm. Through raising her own children, she understood that "food determines one’s health", and was encouraged to grow rice and seasonal vegetables.

In 2022, she decided to embark on her own farming journey and start her herb fields in the forest of Furano. Together with her husband, she cleared a mountain with no roads and created a stunning herb field in the midst of Furano's natural forest.

By using natural farming methods with no pesticides or fertilizers, as well as water from melted snow and rainwater, Inoue Farm successfully cultivated the herbs in a naturally harsh environment. The strong sweet taste and aroma of these herbs make them suitable ingredients for herb tea and for cooking.
