Farmer Mike and his Organic Mini-Farm

My first day in Japan started with an introduction to organic farming Kamakura style. After making a new compost pile, and reworking th older ones in Michael's back yard (grown men making mud pies) we went around front to harvest some veggies for dinner. Michael's pictured here pulling up a monster daikon radish, (which we had grated and mixed with shoyu on grilled sanma, a mackerel like fish) and with a stalk of brussels sprouts, a head of cabbage, and the aforementioned giant raddish.
