"I want to cool the workers!" Project


It feels very good on the skin and doesn't feel unpleasant when you sweat.

"I don't have to say to the mountain of my hometown. I'm grateful for the mountain of my hometown." We spotlighted Mr. Yamaguchi, who runs an apple orchard with his family, in the center of the northeastern part of Morioka, which is blessed with a clear clear stream.

"It's been eight years since I got rid of sala and took over the family business. It was tough at first. However, when I tried it, it was a worthwhile job to live together with physical labor and skilled work. Above all, I harvest apples grown by hand salting. Well, honestly, I don't make that much money (laughs). ”

Mr. Yamaguchi's apple orchard has 1,700 trees of 15 varieties planted, and about 340,000 trees a year. Mono apples are harvested. At the time of coverage, we were in the middle of flower picking and fruit picking (process to control the number of fruits set) in early April. I had them work wearing "Freeze Tech" in a climate where sweat oozes a little.

"It feels very nice on the skin. It doesn't feel unpleasant even if I sweat. It seems to be much easier if I wear it during the hot season from May to August." The apple grows on a daily basis . , Work speed is important. However, if there is no shade and you keep moving while using your head in the shining sunlight, the heat will be considerable. When spraying pesticides, even in the heat of the heat, the kappa and mask are in a sauna state.

"Well, I'm very happy to survive. Right now, half of the harvest is sold directly for gifts. I haven't advertised it, but thankfully the new customers have been repeating for years. The number of new people is increasing by introducing people and word of mouth. Sometimes I get a letter from a customer directly saying that it was delicious, but I was so happy that I cried. "

Mr. Yamaguchi, who is annoyed by children, is playing with young children on occasional holidays. If you need a delicious apple made by him and his family, who is kind and kind, please contact Yamaguchi Apple Garden.
