Fourteen days, in chapters.
Farm · Café · Community — our three anchors. Schedule adjusts for weather and community events.

Tour of the PLH Immersion Camp campus — dorms, classrooms, the café, the farm. Meet Shinohara-san (farm) and Izuka-san (director).

First farm shift
07:00 with Shinohara-san. Feeding, fencing, field checks. You'll be tired by 9am and proud by noon.
