Thank you very much for all your support in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the farm officially opened on September 23, we have had many events for visitors to appreciate nature, food, health, and their lives. Through the Autumn Equinox Event, a celebration party for our friend\u2019s recovery, the “From Fukuoka to the World” project for 15 high school students, and the Winter Solstice Event, where everybody enjoyed each seasonal landscape and fresh and tasty harvests in Hawaii. We want to express our sincere gratitude to all the participants who shared such joyful moments on the farm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With your hearty support for the farm\u2019s 3P purpose, \u201cProduce healthy foods, preserve the ecosystem, and purify the body, mind, and spirit in harmony with Nature,” steadily expanding, the place has become more special. Gary and Takae were thrilled each time they saw the farm turning into a \u201cmagnetic field,\u201d pulling like-minded people who sincerely appreciated Nature and their lives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This year’s excitement peaked on December 19, just before the year-end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As some of you may already know from our FaceBook (www.facebook.com\/takaeoj<\/a>) and blog posts on our website<\/a>, the electric power supply that we have longed for over the past three years has been finally installed into the farm!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, the farm is actually at the starting point of our business thanks to your support, without which we could not have reached this point. Thank you so very much.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2024, Second Nature Farm will move on to the next stage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Putting more effort into cultivating healthy soil and crops, we are planning yoga and meditation programs in addition to the popular hands-on natural farming and healthy cooking classes. We hope our members have a meaningful time here in the coming year, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In closing, I wish you all a healthy, fruitful, and prosperous year 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sincerely,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
