One of the largest roadside stations in Osaka Prefecture ■Opportunity to start wheat cultivation Since 2017, we have been producing our popular whole wheat bread using wheat grown by Satoyama Hidamari Farm, a local NPO. Due to the dissolution of the NPO, Michi-no-Eki Okukawachi Kuromaro no Sato will take over the business with guidance. ■Regional revitalization through wheat experience events! We are planning to hold various wheat cultivation events at one of the largest roadside stations in Osaka Prefecture. In order to revitalize the region, we plan to hold various hands-on events such as wheat stomping, harvesting, threshing, and bread baking, in which everyone from children to adults can participate. Through various experiential events, we will contribute to promoting interest in agriculture and understanding of food production, using wheat products that we casually eat every day.
