Ingredients: Lemon (juice)
Lemons are said to originate from the foothills of the Himalayas in India. They are a representative variety of aromatic citrus fruits and are cultivated worldwide. They were introduced to Japan from America during the Meiji era and have been cultivated mainly in the Setouchi region.
Mucha-en has been seriously engaged in lemon cultivation in recent years, but the challenge is their sensitivity to cold. Especially when a severe cold wave hits in winter, the leaves fall off, weakening the trees and taking years to recover. Also, lemon branches have sharp thorns, and if blown by strong winds, the fruits and leaves can get damaged, leading to diseases. To increase the number of trees planted for the development of processed products, 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 citrus farmers who were concerned about the future of regional agriculture and questioned the heavy use of pesticides and other chemicals in citrus cultivation rented 15 ares of Iyokan fields and established an experimental farm 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 has expanded to over 100 hectares. In addition to promoting organic farming, they are also working on regional development that utilizes the mountains and the sea. Furthermore, using the expansion of 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, blessed with a warm climate and facing Uwajima Bay to the south. Passing through the Nofuku Tunnel at its entrance reveals a spectacular view of Uwajima Bay, the village, and the terraced mandarin orange groves 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 producing delicious mandarins, such as minerals carried by the sea breeze.Under such favorable natural conditions, over 80 farmers 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 during the one-year cultivation period.
Mucha-en's Cultivation Policy:* Do not use herbicides or chemical fertilizers.* Start with zero pesticides and minimize their use as much as possible.* In case of pest or disease outbreaks, first respond with naturally derived pesticides (*1) permitted for organic cultivation.* Only in cases of abnormal outbreaks that cannot be controlled otherwise, use pesticides outside organic cultivation standards with minimal application (*2).(*1) Permitted for use in organic cultivation under the Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS).(*2) In general citrus cultivation in Ehime Prefecture, 18 applications are the guideline.
