I'm a Japanese university student. Now, I study about informatics ,but I would like to study about coffee and sustainable farming in after graduate university. I work at Starbucks as a barista , so I am interested in coffee.
What was your initial desire when you came to the farm? I would like to feel real life in coffee farm. And I would like to know about coffee farming.
What are your next plans after coming to Midori Farm? 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.
What message do you want to give to the next interns? Just feel the nature and enjoy unusual life. And think a lot about our future agriculture
