Watami Farm to Participate in Farmers & Kids Festa 2026

Watami Farm, a subsidiary of Watami Co., Ltd., will be showcasing its commitment to organic agriculture at the upcoming Farmers & Kids Festa 2026. This exciting event, organized by the Japan Agricultural Corporation Association, will take place from February 28 to March 1, 2026, at Yoyogi Park in Shibuya, Tokyo.

The Farmers & Kids Festa aims to bridge the gap between children living in urban settings and the world of agriculture. It emphasizes the importance of experiencing the joy of farming and the value of food directly. Families can engage in various activities designed to connect consumers and the agricultural sector, introducing the younger generation to the wonders of farming in a dynamic, interactive environment.

At this year’s event, Watami Farm plans to host an array of activities including a panel exhibit showcasing their organic farming practices, a hands-on experience of packing organic vegetables, and the sale of their farm products. These activities are intended to provide children with the opportunity to see, touch, and experience the beauty of organic agriculture and sustainable farming, fostering a deeper understanding of the environment and eco-friendly practices.

Last year's event saw a significant number of families and children visiting the Watami Farm booth, highlighting the enthusiasm and passion for agriculture among the younger generation. This sentiments is reflected in the spirit of the festival—offering a fun, educational experience that underscored the joy of farming and food.
