About Tsuchimegu
The reason why the fruits of "Shinshu Takayama Farm Tsuchimegu" are so delicious
Selection of Tsuchimegu
剪定の際には、それぞれの木をじっくり観察し、植物が本来持っているホルモンによってその生命力を最大限に引き出すことができるよう取り組んでいます。
例えば・・・りんごの剪定の場合、通常は真っすぐ上に伸びた枝を切り、垂れさがった枝に実を付けるのですが、つちめぐではこの元気よく上に伸びた枝に果実を実らせます。元気な枝は元気な根に支えられているため、味も格別です。
元気な枝で育った果実を皆さまにお届けいたします。
We harvest at the optimum ripeness
木で十分に熟した果実を一番美味しいタイミングで収穫し、お客様にお届けできるよう心がけています。
We do fertilizer-free grass cultivation.
At Tsuchimegu, we do not use any chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers, or herbicides.
Covering the soil surface with a diverse range of grasses can help regulate soil temperature and increase the number of microorganisms and organic matter.
We aim to create a field rich in nature where many living things can live and coexist.
These are carefully selected "leafless apples"
Apple leaves play an important role in providing sweetness and nutrients to the fruit through photosynthesis.
Picking the leaves results in beautiful red apples, but at Tsuchimegu, we don't pick the leaves until harvest in order to deliver apples that are sweeter and more nutritious.
We will work hard to produce apples that are as even in color as possible by carefully turning the fruit and exposing it to sunlight.
