Exciting Grape Seedling Planting Event in Numata City
On June 29, 2025, the
Gunma Mountain Cultivation DAO will host a special event at a partnered farm in
Numata City, Gunma Prefecture. This grape seedling planting experience promises to be an unforgettable occasion for members and prospective members of the DAO. It is an opportunity not just to learn about grape cultivation but also to engage in community-building efforts through sustainable agriculture.
About the Event
The event will run from
10:30 AM to 3:00 PM. Those interested in attending must register as members of the
Gunma Mountain Cultivation DAO or express their intent to become part of the community. Importantly, this initiative distinguishes itself by emphasizing real, interpersonal connections—encouraging participants to become deeply involved in local agriculture.
Participants will have the unique opportunity to plant grape seedlings under the guidance of renowned natural wine producer
Hirotake Ooka. This hands-on experience will not only enhance knowledge of wines but also foster emotional ties to the region and its agricultural practices. By literally getting their hands in the dirt, members will cultivate a richer appreciation for the wines they will help produce.
