FARM INFORMATION
Management Policy

While promoting the "sixth industry," which integrates production and manufacturing based on local production for local consumption, we open our dairy farm to the public to promote better understanding of dairy farming.
We strive to meet the needs of consumers for "food safety and security" and to "produce and manufacture" products that consumers are satisfied with.

Management Features

1. production of delicious milk

By regularly inspecting the milk yield and quality of each cow, we actively renew cows with poor milk quality or low performance, and strive to produce fresh, delicious milk.
We also promote environmentally friendly management. We are actively utilizing tested bulls with high genetic ability to improve dairy cattle to meet consumer needs.
In addition, we have introduced an automatic feeder to feed each cow according to her performance in several portions to increase milk yield and improve milk quality.

2. interaction with local residents

Through milking and feeding experiences, such as participating in local exchange farms, we provide local residents with opportunities to learn about agriculture, dairy farming, and dairy production. We invite local elementary and junior high schools to our dairy farm to help local residents understand agriculture and dairy farming.
We are also working to create a dairy farm with flowers and provide the farm as a place for the local community to relax.

3. community interaction

Promotion of recycling of unused resources

The company is also promoting environmentally friendly management by effectively utilizing locally unused resources such as beer lees and tofu lees as animal feed and recycling old wood as sawdust.

Effective use of compost

The compost produced at the farm is supplied to vegetable farmers in the Miura Peninsula region, helping to produce delicious vegetables in the Miura Peninsula.
