We visited Thomas-san, a farmer from the United States who has been practicing natural farming on the small Setouchi island of Mukaishima.
He has revived long-abandoned fields and now grows vegetables in harmony with nature. His journey began with inspiration from a book by the Japanese agricultural pioneer Masanobu Fukuoka. For Thomas-san, farming is not only about growing crops, but also about a meaningful way of living that protects the land and connects it to the future.
In this video, we introduce Thomas-san’s farm, the fresh produce he grows, and his ties with the local community and friends. We also share the thoughts and values behind his farming and lifestyle. For 15 years, he has lived and worked here, building each day with care in the gentle atmosphere of the island. We hope you enjoy watching! ✨

耕作放棄地を蘇らせた！瀬戸内海の小さな島で15年自然農法を続けるアメリカ人農家に密着。広島県尾道市向島
瀬戸内の小さな島「向島」で自然農法を実践するアメリカ出身の農家・トーマスさんを取材しました。長い間荒れていた畑を一から蘇らせ、自然と調和しながら野菜を育てています。きっかけは、日本の農学者・福岡正信さんの一冊の本。その姿は、ただ作物を育てるだけでなく「土地を守り、未来につなぐ」大切な営み。今回の動画では、トーマスさんの農園の様子や、栽培されている新鮮な作物、地元や友人との関わり、そして農業や暮らしに込めた思いをじっくりと紹介しています。この地で15年、穏やかな島の空気と共に、丁寧に積み重ねてきた日々を感じていただければ嬉しいです。
