The Osa natural farm which is seen in the photos produces and sells over 100 different natural foods, including cereals, fruits, vegetables, medicinal and aromatic herbs.<\/p>\n

In the production process, the soil is not plowed, no pesticides \/ agricultural tools are used and weeds are not fought.<\/p>\n

The owners of the Osa natural farm, where happy hill rice is also planted and sold, are also friends of Fukuoka.<\/p>\n

The impact of natural farming, Masanobu Fukuoka’s gift to humanity, in the world was much greater than its impact on agriculture in Japan. Fukuoka’s recognition in the world is much higher than in Japan. Especially in recent years; the progress of agriculture, agriculture’s falling into the hands of multinationals, and the steps to destroy the natural seeds have led natural farming to become a major trend in Japan. Natural farms and natural farming practices are increasing day by day.<\/p>\n

Osa Natural Farm is established as a result of over 20 years of natural farming practices. The farm produces and sells natural foods. Anything that should be in a natural farm can be found there; cereals, fruits, vegetables, medicinal, aromatic plants, and above all a living soil kneaded with love.<\/p>\n

We take initiatives to establish new natural farms in different climates to tell and explain the stages of establishing a natural farm and the awakening of the soil. We are starting a new project in Italy with a university, cooperatives, and a few NGOs. Basic issues such as the establishment stages of a natural farm, the awakening of the soil, and the economic survival of a natural farm will be recorded and shared. And it will be supported with Turkish videos.<\/p>\n

We wanted to address the issue of clay soil, which is a ‘headache’ for most people today, and we wanted to show how clay soil can come back to life, produce and survive economically by just scattering seed balls.<\/p>\n

We will start natural farming in an old clay mine where the soil is not clayey. We will transform an abandoned old clay mine, where clay is mined for sale, into a natural food-producing farm. Moreover, the soil will not be plowed at all, no agricultural poison \/ agricultural tools will be used, only seed balls will be scattered. Photos of this farm \/ old clay mine, detailed descriptions, and details of the project will be shared soon.<\/p>\n

We will apply and share topics like how to start natural farming, to take the first steps, to awaken the soil, to make seed balls in different climate zones. At the same time, the university we act together will record all these stages and present them as a resource. Turkish videos will be made and shared.<\/p>\n

Details will come after it becomes official in January.<\/p>\n

We wish everyone a happy, pleasant, and healthy year.<\/p>\n\n\n
