Miho Okada, Vice President of Asa-Eigo no Kai, took a trip to Shirakumo Orchard in Yamagata Prefecture in November 2014. Shirakumo Orchard is owned by Matsufuji-san and grows grapes, apples, peaches, pears, and rice without chemical fertilizers, taking good care of the trees. Okada stayed at the orchard for two nights, helping to pick wild grapes and pack apples, and take care of cherry trees to prepare for winter. The owners drove them around and cooked dinner for them before they took the shinkansen back home.
