The melon was sweet and delicious!
I attended with a group of close friends. Oishi's talk was filled with love for melons, and I felt that it is thanks to the care he takes in growing them that he is able to produce sweet, delicious melons. The melons that we sampled were juicy and really delicious. (This review has been machine translated) -
The story of Melon is interesting.
It was a special experience to eat the melon in the middle of the field while listening to the producer's story!! The first thing I do when I wake up in the morning is go to see the melons. The melons are grown with so much love, and they are so tasty that I have become a fan. When you see the producers' faces and hear their stories like this, you can't help but become a fan. I would like to continue ordering from them in the future! I was able to experience a new charm of Furano this time, and my love for Hokkaido is even more intense (^^♪ (This review has been machine translated)

Furano Melon Harvesting Experience
I participated with seven friends. We were given an explanation of how muskmelons are grown and why the skin wrinkles, while looking at the actual ones in the greenhouse, and then it was time to harvest! We looked around to find the big one, and then we cut off one with scissors that we were satisfied with. After that, we tasted half a melon, which was a truly blissful moment. It was a rare opportunity to experience melon harvesting, so it was a valuable experience. When participating as a family, some people don't need to take home the number of people, so it would have been even better if there was an option to change the participation fee depending on the number of melons harvested.

Fresh air, sweet melons!
I went with a few friends. It was my first time visiting Oishi Farm, and the tarp, tables, and chairs were set up outside. I instantly felt like I was camping! The melon cut in front of me was juicy, sweet, and had a luxurious taste. When we visited the greenhouses, we learned that each and every melon is actually grown with great care, and that it is only thanks to the hard work of the bees that we can enjoy such delicious melons. I would definitely like to go again! (This review has been machine translated) -
I felt the love for Furano melons
I participated with a group of close friends. I learned that the melons we eat all the time are grown with great care and attention before they make it to our dinner table. The sweet and juicy melon was a real treat! I'd like to participate with my family next time. (This review has been machine translated) -
It was a sweet and delicious melon!!!
I participated with a friend. We enjoyed the melons outside while listening to Junnosuke from Oishi Farm talk about his passion and dedication to melon cultivation. The melons were very sweet, measuring 18 degrees Brix using a saccharometer. In the field, we were able to see the melon flowers and small fruits, and apparently only four can be harvested from one plant. At the end, we were able to buy a melon that had just been harvested in the barn! (This review has been machine translated)
