The origin of lemons is said to be at the foot of the Himalayas in India. It is a representative variety of aromatic citrus fruits and is cultivated worldwide. In Japan, it was introduced from America during the Meiji era and has been cultivated mainly in the Setouchi region.
Mucha-en has been seriously engaged in lemon cultivation in recent years, but the challenge is its sensitivity to cold. Especially when a severe cold wave hits in winter, the leaves fall off, weakening the tree and taking years to recover. Also, lemon branches have sharp thorns, and if blown by strong winds, the fruit and leaves can get damaged, leading to diseases. In the future, we are increasing the number of trees planted to focus on developing processed products, but we are struggling to grow them, being at the mercy of the weather.
Although the shipping period is long, from October to the following spring, the juice is squeezed from January to March when the juice content is high.
About Mucha-en:* Building relationships between agriculture and people, starting with mandarins.In 1974, when the production of Satsuma mandarins nationwide reached its peak and began to exceed demand, the successors of mandarin farmers who were concerned about the future of regional agriculture and questioned the use of pesticides and other chemicals in citrus cultivation rented a 15-are Iyokan field and established it as a trial field for pesticide-free cultivation. This was the beginning of Mucha-en."Producing mandarins without relying on pesticides or chemical fertilizers" was the starting point for Mucha-en and remains their fundamental philosophy today.Currently, the cultivation area of farmers working together in Akihama Town exceeds 100 hectares, and they are promoting organic farming while also working to create a region that utilizes the mountains and the sea. Furthermore, using large-scale organic farming as a foothold, they aim to build a new type of agricultural system where young people can take root in the region and live.
* Utilizing the blessed terrain to keep it as natural as possible.Akihama Town, Seiyo City, Ehime Prefecture, faces Uwajima Bay to the south and is blessed with a warm climate. Passing through the Nofuku Tunnel at the entrance, you can see a magnificent view of Uwajima Bay, the village, and the mandarin fields on steep slopes.The mountains are terraced fields built with limestone, which shine white in the sunlight, illuminating the surrounding trees. The soil is well-drained and blessed with natural conditions for growing delicious mandarins, including minerals carried by the sea breeze.In such a naturally blessed environment, over 80 farming families are growing mandarins for Mucha-en, following a cultivation policy that is "reasonable for both people and nature." Citrus fruits bear fruit only once a year. Even when pesticide use is unavoidable, efforts are made to minimize it to the lowest possible level during the year-long cultivation period.
Mucha-en's Cultivation Policy:* Do not use herbicides or chemical fertilizers.* Start with zero pesticides and minimize the number of applications as much as possible.* In case of pest or disease outbreaks, first respond with naturally derived pesticides (*1) that can be used in organic farming.* Only in cases of abnormal outbreaks that cannot be controlled even with the above, use pesticides outside organic farming standards with minimal application (*2).(*1) Permitted for use in organic cultivation according to the Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS).(*2) In general citrus cultivation in Ehime Prefecture, 18 applications are the guideline.
