70 to 90% organic
No
We have an organic attitude of sorts, but we do not go out of our way to be organic or alternative, rather, we do what suits us at the time
食料品や生活用品は近くのお店・スーパーで主に買いますが、なるべく自分たちで作ったものや、近くの農家さんが育てた野菜、自分たちで捌いた肉(鶏・シカ・イノシシなど)、地域の加工品など、人との繋がりの中で生きることを大事に考えています。
家の改修やモノづくりに関しても、地域にあるものや使わなくなったものを再利用して暮らしの豊かさを生み出そうとしています。
4世帯共同で暮らしています。
その内の3人はヴィーガンなので、動物性のものは食べません。
なので食事はヴィーガンのものもあれば、動物性のものもあります。
We usually buy groceries and daily necessities at nearby shops and supermarkets, but we value living in connection with people—using what we grow ourselves, vegetables cultivated by local farmers, meat we prepare ourselves (such as chicken, deer, and wild boar), and locally made products.

When it comes to home renovation and making things, we also try to enrich our lives by reusing local resources and items that are no longer in use.
We live together as four households.
Three of us are vegan, so they do not eat any animal products.
As a result, our meals include both vegan dishes and non-vegan dishes.
  • We usually eat vegetables and rice but we have meat and fish if we are given it
  • We cook various international meals
  • We sometimes cook Asian types of food
  • We always cook homemade meals

私たちは血縁を越えた家族です。"他人家族"と言う名前で、主にInstagramで発信をしながら、暮らしを営んでいます。
経済中心ではなく、子どもを中心にした暮らしを作ろうとしています。
子ども中心とはいえ、何でもありという訳ではなく、今の社会の構造やルールの中で生きる上で大事なこと、そして大前提として、私たちは人間という生き物なんだという姿勢で生きる上で大事なことを伝えながら、生きていこうとしています。
とはいえ、失敗ばかりの大人たちですが！笑
人と人が仲良く暮らすこと。これがなかなか難しい世の中で
それを実現させようと、コミュニケーションをとても大事にしている家族です。
We are a family that goes beyond blood relations. We call ourselves “Tanin Kazoku” (a family of non-relatives), and we share our life mainly on Instagram while living together.

Rather than centering our lives around the economy, we are trying to create a way of living that puts children at the center. That said, it doesn’t mean anything goes. As we live within the structures and rules of modern society, we aim to pass on what is important to live well within it, while also remembering a fundamental truth—that we are human beings—and sharing what truly matters from that perspective.

That said, we’re adults who make plenty of mistakes too! (laugh)

In a world where it can be surprisingly difficult for people to live together in harmony, we are a family that places great importance on communication as we strive to make that possible.
WE ARE IN URGENT NEED OF WWOOFers!
田んぼや畑での作業や、家の改修作業

岩山が絶景の山の中で共に汗を流しましょう！
We have plenty to do, such as working in the rice fields and vegetable gardens, helping with house renovations, playing with the children, and cooking meals for everyone.
Let’s work hard together surrounded by the beautiful mountain scenery with stunning rocky cliffs!
