BERRY代表の宮澤大樹です。 I am Daiki Miyazawa, founder of "BERRY" — a strawberry farm in Iga, Japan, where people who once gave up on life are rediscovering purpose through farming. Since 2017, we’ve worked with the ONENESS Foundation to integrate agriculture into therapeutic recovery programs. Our efforts were recognized by Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture. Thanks to the support of many people, BERRY’s welfare-collaboration strawberries have earned these distinctions: • Mont St. Clair | Chosen by Chef Hironobu Tsujiguchi • Wedgwood | Selected for the brand’s 260th-anniversary gift collection • JAL (Japan Airlines) | Served as the dessert in international first class • Butterfield Market (Manhattan) | Featured in this high-end grocery store • IKIGAI FRUITS(across the U.S.) | Selected as one of premium Japanese fruits and more Now, we’re ready to take the next step: launching our own government-certified employment center (B-type) in June 2025, where we can pay fair wages and create long-term opportunities.
