This is Kenta Kaneko, aka Johnny-san.
He is a unique farmer with passion to organic farming.

His name is "Johnny Farm at Dawn.“

Johnny loves rock and roll.

Johnny, who loves rock and roll, realized the power of food to make people smile from his experience in the restaurant business.

He said, "What you eat can change you. People are made of what they eat."

"People smile the moment they eat something truly delicious, which makes their body happy afterwards. I want to provide such food."

However, in Japan, there are very few foods that are organically grown without the use of any pesticides or chemical fertilizers.

"Then, I should be the one to produce it!"

Johnny decided to train in organic farming at Kabashima farm, an organic farmer in Aso, Kumamoto. After that, he became independent and opened "Dawn of Johnny Farm" in April 2014.

The word "dawn" was chosen by Johnny, who has made the transition from the restaurant business to an organic farmer. The word "dawn" was inspired by image of chickens crowing at break of dawn, signifying the beginning of a new life for him.

The organically grown ingredients produced by the Regent Farmer are all rock 'in roll masterpiece.

A great deal of effort and ingenuity is required to produce organic ingredients that are full of flavor and aroma.

What is the driving force behind Johnny's willingness to do so?

"Because I love it. It's fun and exciting. It took me a long time to get to this point, though."

"Since I was in college, I've been asking myself how I want to live my life　and it's because of that long period of time that I'm able to do what I do now with passion."

The night dawns. The chickens are crowing. Johnny's challenge will continue.
