A new product has been released that is a collaboration between Nishida's naturally grown gold kiwi fruit, which is a fruit that was once thought to be "impossible" to grow naturally, and Purei's milk ice cream, which is made with carefully selected ingredients and manufacturing methods!

This product will be shipped frozen.


■ "Moon-reading fruits" harvested according to the phases of the moon
Nishida has been engaged in natural fruit cultivation in Gyokuto Town, Kumamoto Prefecture since 2006.
For many years, they have been engaged in the natural cultivation of fruit trees such as peaches, honey rosas (plums), Taishu persimmons, and gold kiwis, something that was once said to be "impossible" to do without pesticides.

Nishida's naturally grown gold kiwifruit is extremely popular at Purely every year because of its rich sweetness.

■An extremely simple milk ice cream made with the desire to "eat ice cream that tastes like it was homemade"

Normally, commonly made ice cream contains emulsifiers and thickening polysaccharides, but "Purely Additive-Free Milk Ice Cream" contains only three ingredients: "Takamura Farm Jersey Milk," "Naturally Fertilized Eggs," and "Organic Sugar"! It's rare to come across ice cream that is made this simply.


"Purely x Nishida Orchard Collaboration Ice Cream" is a luxurious ice cream gelato created by Nishida, who is involved in the natural cultivation of fruit trees, at the request of a gelateria that Purely trusts to process its produce.

Please try it!

Taking on the challenge of natural fruit cultivation, something that was once thought to be "impossible"

Nishida returned to his hometown of Kumamoto in 2000 and began working in his family's orchard as the successor.
Originally, we started without knowing anything about natural farming.
We spray chemical fertilizers and pesticides every day as if that were a matter of course.
However, as I continued, I began to have doubts about the large amounts of pesticides being used.
"Pesticides are sprayed dozens of times. I wouldn't want to eat fruit that has been soaked in those pesticides."
Nishida's feelings gradually grew stronger.
While keeping an eye on environmentally conscious agriculture, a series of connections led to our encounter with Purely.

Mr. Nishida from Kumamoto Prefecture grows gold kiwis organically and naturally, without fertilizer or pesticides. Mr. Nishida's first step towards natural farming was when he "started to have doubts about the pesticides and fertilizers that are used as if they were a given."


"At first I was surprised, thinking, 'Natural farming without the use of pesticides or fertilizers. There's a farming method like this!' But then I began to feel strongly that, since I'd come back to my hometown of Kumamoto, I wanted to practice natural farming that is kind to both the environment and people."
After meeting Purely, Nishida began practicing natural farming in small areas in 2007.

The "insects" are employees of Nishida Orchard

Nishida's gold kiwis are grown without the use of any pesticides or fertilizers, even from the seedlings.
We grow our plants naturally from seedlings.
Fruit trees are inherently susceptible to damage from insects and diseases, and large amounts of pesticides and fertilizers are generally used on them.
At Nishida Orchard, which practices natural farming, naturally occurring insects are used instead of pesticides and fertilizers.
"Because I don't use pesticides, a diverse range of creatures live in my orchard. For example, the newly hatched spiders prey on mites and other insects that harm the peaches."
In the world of conventional farming, insects are considered to be harmful pests and are thoroughly eradicated using pesticides.
However, Nishida describes the insects as "employees of Nishida Orchard," and he works to create an orchard in harmony with nature.

Nishida has recreated a natural environment in his orchard where living things and plants coexist and life is diverse.
They also practice biodynamic farming methods, which involve mowing, pruning, and harvesting in accordance with the phases of the moon.
The fruits grown using this farming method are extremely popular nationwide and known as "Tsukiyomi Fruits."
