This is a story about an international couple raising and home educating three young boys on a small island in Japan, half living in buses, engaged in organic, self-sufficient farming in the middle of a mountain forest while dealing with climate, cultural, and personal challenges. These pages are about pretty much anything and everything all guided by our family motto, Taking Chances, Making Changes, Being Happy. Thank you very much for joining us on our ongoing crazy adventure.

Farm Purchase

- We are now in the process of purchasing a couple of small farms, including the farm adjacent to the huge farm our friend is letting us use and another farm across the street. We received permission to use the small farms pending completion of the paperwork finalizing the purchase, which in Japan could be quite awhile. This year we at least doubled our farm production. This season we already harvested over a thousand sweet potatoes, tons of regular potatoes, a wide variety of white and colored radishes, and many different leafy veggies. We also grow a lot of herbs, including basil, dill, and parsley, which we eat pretty much every day.
