Check out this video about a sustainable community farm in Japan, the Konohana Family Farm. The “family” consists of 47 members and the farm is almost 100% self-sustained. They have farmed their land without chemicals or pesticides for over 13 years! They also exist on a completely vegetarian diet.

From a Konohana Family Farm brochure:

“Over 260 kinds of rice, grain, vegetables and so forth are grown on the fields of 13 hectares.
We also produce free-range chicken eggs, honey, goat milk, miso and soy sauce made by the traditional process and various kinds of processed goods such as pickles, rice cake and tea without any additive. Our produces and goods are sold to the neighbors and delivered anywhere in Japan. The Family has established a very safe and healthy eating habit, “Konohana vegetarian diet”. We eat fresh, seasonal produces full of lots of energy that are grown here. We do not eat any meat or fish.”
