2. Natural Farming is a
sustainable farming. Natural
Farming makes all inputs from
natural materials, observes the
law of the Nature and respects
the rights of crops and
livestock.
3. Environment-friendly
Natural Farming heals the soil slashed by chemicals,
herbicide and machines. Where Natural Farming is
practiced, the soil and water become clean and ecology is
recovered. It is even being used as a tool to fight
desertification.
4. Respect for Life
Natural Farming respects life. It opposes human
exploitation on life. Ironical it may sound; respecting the
nature of the life is the best way to achieve top quality
and yield. We prevent disease rather than curing with
medicines. We rear healthy animals rather than feeding
them hormones and antibiotics.
Crops and livestock reared by Natural Farming are
very healthy. They have almost no disease and show
especially strong resistance to climatic fluctuation.
Natural Farming orchards in Korea were least damaged by
the notorious typhoon that slashed other farms.
5. High Quality
Natural Farming products have high quality, good taste
and better yield. People commonly think that by
converting to organic farming you will have smaller
yields, lower quality and smaller-sized fruits. In Natural
Farming it is the opposite. We do not go back to the
past; we take a leap into the future.
Natural Farming products have much higher nutritional
contents. Protein, amino acid, crude fat and other
essential nutrient were identified to be as much as 300
percent higher than ordinary products. Chemical
residue such as nitrate is almost undetectable

7. Natural Farming Methods
• No Pesticide
Natural Farming does not use pesticide. Pesticides do not only
kill insects; they reside in the soil and fruit. When absorbed, it
can do serious harm to our bodies and even our next
generations.
8. • Instead of using toxic chemicals, we use light,
alcohol, aroma, poisonous plant and so forth to
control pests. More surprisingly, an ecology that
recovered the natural balance will drop in the
pests and disease occurrence. Natural Farming
does precisely that.
Because we do not use colorants, our fruits can
have some natural stripes, spots or insect bites.
This is the proof of zero chemical. Most of our
farmers are certified by the government as low or
zero pesticide.
9. • No Herbicide
Natural Farming does not use herbicide. Killing the
weeds with chemical is not the only solution nor is it wise.
Herbicide is lethal to human. How can it only kill the
weeds?
10. Natural Farming uses the weeds rather
than killing them. We actually grow the wild
grass such as rye and clover for mulching.
Natural Farming orchards are green with
grass growing between the fruit trees. The
grass prevents soil erosion, holds moisture,
propagates microorganism, produces organic
fertilizer, improves soil ventilation and
suppresses the pests. How can it only be a
thief of nutrients?
11. No Tillage
Natural Farming does not till the land. Instead of
using machines, we use earthworms,
microorganisms and small animals. Machine can
plow 20 centimeters at best, whereas
earthworms will dig 7 meters. The excretions of
the earthworms turn into the best soil.
12. After practicing Natural Farming, the soil
inflates like a balloon. Our little workers tilled
so well that your hand will slide in as if into a
soft cake.
Because you don’t till the land, the grass seeds
in the soil do not come up to the surface. In
other words, after the grass on the surface
have germinated and died, you will have no
more weed problems. No tillage and no
herbicide are linked
13. • No Chemical Fertilizer
•
Natural Farming does not use chemical
fertilizer. Nor does it follow the common
practice of applying over half of the fertilizer
as base manure. Crops will become weak if
given too much food at early stage.
14. Nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium,
calcium and all other elements that would be
commonly given in the form of chemical
fertilizer are substituted with Natural Farming
inputs. Fish amino acid provides nitrogen,
eggshells give calcium, animal bones are
source of phosphoric acid. Our Natural
Farming inputs are not only cheap but highly
effective.
15. • No Pollution
Natural Farming animal houses do not emit any
wastewater. There is no need to install an expensive
treatment machine. All the treatment is done right on
the floor itself.
16. • As soon as feces fall on the floor, it is quickly decomposed
by the powerful microorganisms. Floor is not made from
concrete, it is touching the soil; it is alive. Rice straw,
sawdust, fresh soil are used for flooring.
Even if you use a Natural Farming animal house for many
years, you do not need to clean the feces once. They do not
pile up and they do not smell. Our method is revolutionary
considering the serious pollution that livestock wastewater
are doing on our rivers. Natural Farming animal housings do
not smell.
Utilizing the natural powers like the sun, wind and
microorganism, the floor is always dry and fluffy. It is a
common sight to see a Natural Farming animal houses right
beside a human house.
18. • One of the most important aspects of Natural Farming is that the
farmers make what they need. Fertilizers, soil improvers, pest
controllers, disease cure are all made by the farmers themselves
using only natural materials based on the Nutritive Cycle theory. We
do not simply buy materials from the market and follow the
manual. We make what we need and follow the principle of the
nature. By doing so, we save money and perform better. Our field,
hills, forest, rivers, ocean and all surroundings are full of useful
materials that are tools of our farming; only if we open our eyes.
• This is why Natural Farming can be a powerful tool for the third
world farmers who cannot afford to buy expensive imported
farming inputs.
Our important inputs include Indigenous Microorganism (IMO),
Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ), Oriental Herbal Nutrient (OHN), Lactic
Acid Bacteria (LAB), Fish Amino Acid (LAB), Water-soluble Calcium
(WCA), Water-soluble Calcium Phosphate (WCP), and Insect
Attractant (IA). All produced at home easily and cheaply. Most
importantly, they work!
19. • Natural Feed made by Farmers
Natural Farming animals do not only eat commercial feed from
the market. They eat natural food prepared by farmers with love and
affection. Chicks are given with whole brown rice grains and bamboo
leaves immediately after hatching. Tough food develops their
intestines. Animals reared with Natural Farming are healthy, strong
and have no disease.
20. We do not give antibiotics, hormones, colorants or other
chemicals to our animals. We give them what nature has given
them to eat. We use grass, rice husk, rice bran, left-over food,
sawdust and even soil for feed. They go through our special
treatment and assorting.
21. Nutritive Cycle Theory
Natural Farming cares for the crops and livestock according to
the “Nutritive Cycle Theory.” It is a theory that enables us to
read the changing growth stages of a plant or animal. We
apply fertilizer, feed, or prescription precisely according to this
cycle. Natural Farming is a very elaborate, complicated and
precise method that denies “spray-and-forget” kind of
approach.
Just like humans, crops and livestock also need nitrogen when
young, phosphoric acid during adolescence and calcium after
maturity. Also the amount of food they need to take in will
constantly change, just as a baby cannot eat a grown-up’s
dish.
Natural Farming emphasizes the right use of the right
material, at the right stage, in the right quantity.
22. Natural Inputs
All Natural Farming inputs are made by the
farmers utilizing only natural materials. Even
though we do not use chemicals sold in the
market, our inputs have enough effect to
supercede them. Here we introduce some of our
unique inputs.
23. Indigenous Microorganism (IMO)
` Indigenous microorganism is a powerful input
that improves soil condition and crop health. It is
collected from nearby forest or fields using a simple
wooden lunch box with steamed rice. By utilizing
microorganisms that survived and adapted to that
local place for numerous generations, we can have
safe, cheap yet powerful microorganism input.
24. Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ)
Fermented plant juice is made by fermenting
plant parts in brown sugar. Sprouts and baby
fruits with high hormone concentration, full
grown fruits, flower abundant in honey, and any
plant with strong vigor are good ingredients.
25. Oriental Herbal Nutrient (OHN)
Oriental herbal nutrient is made from herbs
valued in oriental medicine.
26. Lactic acid bacteria is exactly same as
yoghurt. Other inputs include fish amino acid,
water-soluble calcium from eggshells, water-
soluble phosphoric calcium from animal bones
and seawater.
