Bunka Farm – vegetable plants nurseryNursery

Story of Bunka Farm

Bunka Farm has established in 1964 with a mission of nurturing kitchen garden culture around the local area in Kanzaki- gun, Hyogo prefecture. 

Before the founder (Masami Ono) started growing vegetable plants as we have now, we have had been a long lasting rice farmer as well as a soy sauce  producer in the area. 

The founder succeeded the rice farm and soy sauce family businesses after he came back from war, however, he realised that people have been losing opportunities to grow their own vegetables at home, especially the younger generations. He valued the dynamics of growing vegetables and realised how crucial it is for the communities. He then started learning how to grow vegetables and started producing seedlings. That is how Bunka Farm started around 1964. Now Bunka farm has been succeeded to the third generation and continue nurturing culture of kitchen gardening.
