Great to see a positive story. God Speed Durrants.

Nice as a hobby. But Japan needs much more professional farmers with high productivity to feed its population.

Good luck for expansion.

I myself like to grow vegetables and fruits in my 200 square meter garden.

Good to see more articles like this JT on biracial couples doing business.

I have thought of doing something like that myself, of course "organic farming" is actually less sustainable than conventional farming and the claim that pesticide-free dried corn is a "healthy alternative" to store bought popcorn is just pure nonsense. Without using any fungicides on corn there is probably a lot of fusarium infection resulting in deoxynivalenol (DON mycotoxin) which is something you best not eat. Japan has very strict limits on DON in popcorn sold in supermarkets.

We need more dairy & beef farming here and fewer handouts to inefficient rice farmers. Good luck to these two.
