About Us

Company Philosophy
Make everyone happy through our farming!

Revitalize the Lands

Farm Kazuto revitalizes abandoned agricultural land as agricultural land. We produce healthy and tasty crops that best match the regional characteristic of the local land and climate.

Develop the Local Eco System

We recycle manure from a local pasture and composts unused food from local businesses. We also practice sustainable farming with great consideration for the natural environment.

Revitalize the Local Community

Through interaction with the local community, such as participating in the farmers’ market and employing interns, Farm Kazuto contributes to revitalizing local culture and the community.
