Picking vegetables and making pizzas at a farm in Furano
The first thing we would like to introduce to you in Furano’s nature experience is a plan to pick vegetables and make a pizza at the farm! You will visit a farm in Minamifurano City that practices community-recirculating agriculture and harvest vegetables grown on the land of Furano.
Depending on the time of year you visit, you can pick vegetables that are in season from late May to early June, such as asparagus, mini-tomatoes from late June onwards, and sweet corn around August.

The whole experience of decorating pizzas with vegetables you have harvested themselves and baking them in the farm’s homemade pizza oven will surely make your memories of Furano even more wonderful!
