About
Since 2011, in response to the 9.0 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami, thousands of walkers, sponsors and volunteers have joined together at Tanaka Farms in Irvine, California. Walk the Farm is a fun one and a half mile walk around a real working farm sampling freshly harvested fruits and vegetables, enjoying musical and cultural performances, and participating in interactive kids' crafts along the way.
Tanaka Farms and the OCO Club hope to spread awareness and help send a message of kibou
(hope) to
farmers around the world devastated by natural disasters.
100% of the net proceeds go to providing support for farmers suffering from natural disasters, scholarships for students of Iwate University's School of Agriculture, and grants for new farmers who are focused on rebuilding and renewing areas that were affected by the Great Tohoku Earthquake and Tsunami.
