Naturally grown red turnips by Mr. Fukumoto of Kagoshima Prefecture

Fukumoto's red turnips have no peculiar taste and a subtle sweetness. You can eat them as they are by peeling off the red outer skin. If you make a cut in the skin as shown in the picture, it can be peeled off easily. This red turnip is perfect for adding color to salads.

Red turnips grown naturally without fertilizer or pesticides by Fukumoto, Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu Fukumoto Farm, Minamisatsuma City, Kagoshima Prefecture

Fukumoto-san is 24 years old, and after working for an organic farming corporation, he started farming in Minamisatsuma City, Kagoshima Prefecture in 2016. Since his first year, he has been growing turnips, taro, eggplant, spinach, radishes, and other crops without fertilizer or pesticides. When I visited the production area, I was mainly shown the turnip, spinach, and radish fields. The land had been abandoned for many years, and the reclaimed fields were blessed with fertile black soil. Perhaps because there was little fertilizer or pesticide used in the past, the soil was soft and comfortable.

From the beginning, he had high aspirations, believing that "anything other than farming without pesticides is impossible," and he is working on environmental conservation-oriented agriculture. After learning about natural farming through his connection with Purely, he has been trying natural farming while working on soil improvement.
