Q&A for Masanobu Fukuoka's farm

Hello permies! My name's Jack and I'll be staying at the farm of Masanobu Fukuoka (author of The One Straw Revolution) at least until July 7th.

**If you have any questions for the farm, please comment on this thread and I can forward them to the farm staff.**

The farm is currently run by Masanobu's grandson, and has a cheerful crew of workers passionate about natural farming.

I intend to write up something like "what happened to Masanobu's natural farming".

I also recently traveled to the Akame natural farming school (a spinoff variant of natural farming by Yoshikazu Kawaguchi) and am liasing with them about digitising and translating their practical books on natural farming. If you have questions for them, or would like this to happen, please let me know via a DM!

Cheers!
Jack

Welcome to Permies!

This is very exciting for me. Masanobu Fukuoka was my major inspiration above any other permaculture leader, so I’m happy to hear from someone who is actually going to be there!

Hi jack,

I curious to know how your stay was? I’m planning on visiting next month and wondering how long to stay for. What has happened to Masanobu Fukuoka's natural farm? Has it changed since his grandson has taken it over? Thank you so much for starting this thread.

I’m excited to hear what comes from your writings and work.

Many thanks

Lydia

Lydia, please send news of your sojourn on this legendary farm  

One Astraware Revolution was an instrumental part of my life, all respect to his grandson for keeping this valiant fire ablaze.
