Naturally grown carrots (by Sakata)

"I want to become a natural farmer!" said Masahiko Sakata, who graduated from Purely in 2015.

As expected, persistence is power! First of all, several years of agricultural experience was required as a qualification for new farming, so I jumped into a part-time job in the production department of a large company that used chemical fertilizers and pesticides, a world different from Purely, and did my best.

He says that this experience strengthened his physical and mental strength. He continued to cultivate the soil for natural cultivation, even while facing poor, hard soil where even wheat could not grow.

Sakata's personality helped him connect with people and he also had the kindness of those around him, and he told us about the five years he's overcome.

Of course, he would occasionally bring vegetables to Purely and say, "I've finished it!", but in the spring of 2020, he finally made his debut as a Purely producer.

Sakata-san delivers to Purely every time.

As a former staff member, he always shares with us the "farm information" that we want to know from a distribution perspective.

From his experience dealing with customers in distribution, he continues to grow crops while pursuing what kind of vegetables customers expect. I think it is because of this perspective that Sakata's vegetables give off a sense of "kindness" and "security."
