About Us
Grow Hayama is a 1 year membership farming community.
We run from April to the following March. This is a one year curriculum and starting mid year is not available.
How we work
Grow Hayama has two basic activities.
❶Work Days：Every Week Tues, Thu, Sat
※other days may be arranged to meet your schedule.
❷Workshop：1 time/month（Tues and Sat）
❶Workday?
Throughout the year, we have different jobs around the farm. These workdays are for keeping the farm in good working order, based on what is needed.
That being said, it is a free day for members to enjoy however they wish. Read a book under a tree, meditate or relax for as long as you wish. And those who wish to learn can join Michael, who is always eager to teach.
❷Workshops
Each month a theme is chosen. Based on the time of year, we will have a workshop about farming, DIY, cooking, etc.
←Check out last year's calendar to see what we did!
On workshop days, we have a picnic lunch. Every member is asked to bring one dish to share. We will prepare a rice dish and soup based on the season.
