SUPPORTKomoro no Wa — a general incorporated association
From abandoned farmland to future vineyard
We are restoring the farmland going out of use across Komoro as vineyard, and building a winery that can process the fruit here in the area. We are raising the funds that keep restored land in use.
Our contact form is still being set up. For now, please write to us directly at the email address below.
BACKGROUNDWhy this project
Clearing abandoned land is not the finish line
There is neglected land all around our own vineyard. As growers age the area will only widen, and left alone it drags down the yield of the plots beside it.
But clearing abandoned farmland is not the finish line. Some land was restored once with public money, then fell out of use and reverted to scrub. It only counts once the restored land stays in use and earns its keep — so alongside the vineyard we are building the winery that receives the fruit.
MONEYHow funds are used
From clearing and planting to the equipment that keeps the land in use
Funds go to clearing and planting abandoned land, and to the facilities and equipment needed to keep it working as vineyard over the long term.
FORWhat funds are used for
Ground works: felling, stump removal, levelling and soil improvement
Buying and planting vines
Buying and installing vineyard materials
Investment in the cellar equipment the harvest requires
Programmes combining farming with disability employment
Communicating the work and its results
Research into sustainable farming
