Project Overview
Here is an overview of the projects.
Project 1: "La France Tree Owner System Project" with Shoji Orchard
Project 2: "Muscat Bailey A Project" with Maruto Hanawa Orchard Project 3: "Almond New Planting Project" with Smile Fruit Garden
Project 2 is an initiative to raise awareness of Muscat Bailey A, an indigenous Japanese variety, by using grapes from Maruto Hanawa Orchard to produce original wine and original non-alcoholic wine as gifts for stakeholders.
They plan to experimentally craft several varieties with special attention paid to taste, quality, labels, and more, working toward expanding the initiative into a project that leads to commercialization in the future.
While commercialization may still be ahead, let us keep an eye on future developments.
