Hachiqi Farm Co., Ltd.

Wakayama Prefecture is the largest producer of peaches in western Japan, and is a fruit powerhouse that produces various fruits such as kiwi, figs, and strawberries, as well as tangerines and persimmons. In Momoyama Town, Kinokawa City, located in the northern part of Wakayama Prefecture, we have inherited the tradition of "Aragawa peaches" with a history of 240 years since the Edo period, and we at Hachiki Farm produce and sell them. 　In addition, in order to further develop businesses that make use of the abundant agricultural products of the Kino River basin, which is blessed with a rich natural environment, we are also striving for sixth industrialization. We are developing a new business by cutting non-standard seasonal fruits that would otherwise be discarded while they are fresh at a processing plant in the field and making them into products such as purees and syrups. 　In Kinokawa City, the shortage of agricultural workers and the increase in abandoned farmland have become issues, and in order to leave the rare fruit "Aragawa peach" to future generations, we are actively working on accepting new farmers ~ training.
