Ways to take partWhat happens on the first day?
You do not need technical experience to begin. We are preparing a day of looking together, trying something by hand and leaving one record for the next person.
Take home one personal record. Leave a question someone else can build on. →Follow the preparation
We start with public Hackerfarm Japan projects and design ways to test them at our farm. These are preparation protocols, not field results or member activity records.
Our evidence standard →We start with a question.
Then take it further.
We study openly shared farming and making projects, then adapt them to the tools available today and the conditions on our farm. Technical function and artistic enquiry have equal room here.
