I was traveling some countries in South East Asia ,so I kept traveling.
Have we done anything to help you achieve that goal?
the experience in your farm was excellent and I am totally satisfied with the stay. I learned a lot about sustainable coffee farming.
What have you experienced and learned from Midori Farm?
I experienced a lot about coffee farming . For example , I watered the coffee trees, I removed wrong beans , I harvested coffee cherries, I made a field for new trees, and so on.
Your feelings about those experiences
I learned how difficult sustainable and organic coffee farming . The work in coffee farm were everything hard, and the price of coffee beans are very cheap , so it is difficult to keep the quality of coffee high.

Just feel the nature and enjoy unusual life. And think a lot about our future agriculture
