Brown’s Field | マクロビオティックわの会

Brownsfield is an eco-village centered around agriculture.

We cultivate rice, soybeans, and wheat through natural farming, from which we produce seasonings such as soy sauce and miso; and we are self-sufficient in plum pickles, plum vinegar, persimmon vinegar, and more throughout the year.

Our cafe, lodging, and meals are all based on brown rice cooked in a kamado, using homemade seasonings to prepare seasonal vegetables in a macrobiotic meal without animal products.

Please come and experience life at Brownsfield if you wish.

Below, we will introduce some ways to stay and experience, hoping you can choose based on your schedule and interests.

We look forward to meeting you at Brownsfield along with our staff.
