Corn Picking (Mr. Kikuchi)

とうもろこし狩り1
You can enjoy picking corn directly in the fields.
I met farmer Mr. Kikuchi when he was delivering corn to Nasu Kogen HERB's.
He said, “You can try corn picking”, so we decided to join.
We changed to his small truck and went to the corn fields.

とうもろこし狩り1

I met farmer Mr. Kikuchi when he was delivering corn to Nasu Kogen HERB's.
He kindly said, “You can try corn picking”, so we visited his fields.
We changed to his small truck and then headed out for the corn picking.

Riding in the back of the truck is very fun.
The truck shakes up and down, so I feel a little nervous.
That small thrill makes the ride exciting.

We arrived at the corn fields.

(Kaori’s Highlights)

菊地佳幸さん

Mr. Yoshiyuki Kikuchi started farming in 2005.
He is still new to growing corn, but his natural, easygoing style is very nice.
There were almost no chances to try corn picking in Nasu before, so I was very happy.
If you want to try it, please call in advance and he will arrange it for you.
When I visited, we met at the Toda Community Fire Station and then went to the fields together.
