『網地島王国お野菜』
網地島王国お野菜 思い描くもの
1. 特に家庭菜園ができなくなった年配の方や、美味しく安心安全な食材を求める全ての方へお届けすること。
2. 島の特産品となるような付加価値を付けた食材を生産・加工し、網地島の名物が増えていくこと。
3. 農薬や化学肥料に頼らず、緑肥や微生物の力で土を元氣にし、出来る限り循環する人にも地球にも優しい暮らしを目指します。
“ 宮城県石巻市 牡鹿地区 網地島(あじしま)
人口300人程の直径約5kmの離島、限界集落
手つかずの自然が多いに残されている、三陸復興国立公園のひとつ ”
網地島で育ち、作られたものは、何でも『みんなの808』(小さな八百屋)で売り買いできます。
網地島王国の名前は、全てが本土とはちょっと違う、島を誇りに思う島民の言葉から来ています。
離島は、ある種の小さな王国のようだからです。不便はあっても、みんな島が大好きなのです。
“No man is an island. = 人は一人では生きていけない”
老若男女みんなで、大好きな網地島王国を豊かに!
私達は農業の知識の有無に関わらず、島に興味のあるボランティアを大歓迎します。
八百屋や加工場の建築材料提供も大歓迎です。農作業される方には、自炊素泊まりシェアハウスもございます。
Ajishima Cafeオープンに向けて少しずつ準備を進めております。支え合いの知恵とお力、有難く受け取ります。
また、ご助言やご指摘も有難く頂戴致します。
慎んで、どうぞよろしくお願い申し上げます。
最後に、こちらに目を通して頂き、誠にありがとうございます。
Ajishima Kingdom
The brand and store front for the products grown and produced on the island of Ajishima, Miyagi, Japan, by Ajishima ABE (pronounced /ay-bay/). We are in the process of both setting up a physical farm stand (yaoya) to sell our fruits and vegetables on the island, and launching this website as an online store front for select products.

History of ABE
A.gricultural B.ased E.conomy -
A farming enterprise established on Ajishima in order to provide safe and nutritious food for the islanders and patients in residence at the island's hospital. We also grow and produce specialty and value-added items for sale off-island and online. We are in the process of building a small farm stand on Ajishima, where we can sell our produce along side or fellow islanders. Our goal is to create a community market where any islander can sell their produce to other islanders and visitors alike.
Ajishima ABE was established in 2013 by a native of Ajishima, and with the help of volunteers planted their first crop: potatoes! Literal tons of potatoes!! Potatoes for as far as the eye could see!!!
Come 2016, the founder stepped down due to health concerns, and it was at this time that Rick, Michie and another islander stepped up to take over operations.
They immediately decided to add a little color to the planting rotation, so now in addition to the mainstay potatoes, they are growing a diversity of vegetables and several fruits.
This website will serve as a way to promote ABE's activities, and to keep our supporters up-to-date and well fed!
Thank you for your support!
