大地農園

何よりもまず、食べる人に楽しんでほしい。それが、御宿町で「大地農園」2代目としていちごの栽培を手がける大地雅子さんのこだわりだ。

種類によってこんなに味が違うのかと感動した経験があるから、世話の苦労は承知で多品種を育てる。葉酸が多く含まれるいちごは妊婦さんに喜ばれると知れば、お腹の赤ちゃんのためにも、殺虫剤はできる限り使わないと決める。プラスチックゴミの分別が苦手だから、包装にはできるだけ紙のトレイを使う。そんなひとつひとつの姿勢が、大地農園らしい、やさしく自然な味わいを育んできた。

今回MITOSAYAで販売するのは、チーバベリー、恋みのり、おいCベリー、とちおとめ、やよいひめ、かおり野、もういっこ、さちのかの8種のいちご。完熟した朝採れのものだけを厳選し、1種ごとのパックと8種ミックスのパックをそれぞれ提供する。人体には全く影響がないものの、虫食いなどで小さな穴が空いてしまったいちごを集めたジャム用お買い得パックにも、運が良ければ出会えるかも?

First and foremost, She want the people who eat them to enjoy them. That's what Masako Ochi, the second generation of Daichi Farm in Onjuku Town, is dedicated to growing strawberries.

Having been impressed by how different the taste of different kinds of strawberries can be, she grows many kinds of strawberries, knowing the difficulty of caring for them. When she learned that strawberries, which contain a lot of folic acid, are appreciated by pregnant women, she decided to avoid using insecticides as much as possible for the sake of her baby. She uses paper trays as much as possible for packaging because she is not good at separating plastic waste. Each of these attitudes has nurtured the gentle and natural flavor that is typical of Ochi Farm.

The eight types of strawberries sold at mitosaya are Chihba Berry, Koi Minori, Oi C Berry, Tochiotome, Yayohime, Kaorino, Moi Ikko, and Sachi no Ka. Only the ripe ones picked in the morning will be carefully selected, and we will offer both individual packs and mixed packs of the eight varieties. There are also bargain packs of strawberries that are not harmful to human health, but have small holes due to insect bites, etc. for jam.
