Naturally grown pumpkin, 1 bulb (Higo Ayumi Association)

Uki City, Kumamoto Prefecture: Naturally grown pumpkins by Higo Ayumi Association

Higo Ayumi Association, whose tomatoes are extremely popular, has now received naturally grown pumpkins.
They are medium-sized, weighing approximately 1 kg each, and are easy to cut at home.
It is perfect as an ingredient in stews, soups, and miso soup. It is also delicious cut and baked in the oven in olive oil.

Higo Ayumi Kai is famous for its organic tomato cultivation, but this time the pumpkins are being grown using natural farming methods.
Mr. Sawamura, the representative of Higo Ayumi Association, is also attempting natural cultivation without the use of pesticides or fertilizers.
This pumpkin was created with the idea of ​​creating an easy-to-eat vegetable that can be enjoyed as safely as possible by people of all ages, from children to the elderly.

Please enjoy it in your daily cooking and as baby food for your children.

Revitalizing the town of Uki through agriculture
Shiranui Town in Uki City, where Sawamura lives, is located on a small hill facing the sea.

The area is also known for the Shiranui fires that appear in the Yatsushiro Sea every summer night.

Growing crops that make people happy and healthy

Sawamura's wish is for "many people to be able to eat safe and secure crops."
He also regularly talks about how he wants to continue growing delicious crops that will help everyone who eats them to become healthy and live happy lives. With this in mind, he is expanding his efforts to include vegetables and rice.

I am excited to see Sawamura's passion and drive help expand the world of agriculture and natural farming in Kumamoto even further in the future.
