New signboard

（日本語）

We have finally set up a signboard on the farm!

This is it:

New signboard day one (2016/2/15)

"Chickens' playground
Free range eggs"

The signboard was made by Shizenmoku Koubou, a woodwork studio in Hyogo prefecture.

Shizenmoku Koubou did a great job for reasonable price. Highly recommended if you ever need a wooden something.

So the signboard was ready and the only job left to us was to attach it to a pole at the farm, but even this simple task needed some planning. Two people are necessary to do it but recently Nobuo and I are rarely available both at the same time. Finally we managed in the evening two days ago: 

"Hands up Signboard!" (2016/2/14)

Thanks to the signboard, passersby - mostly local residents walking their dogs - know what this place is and how to contact us. 

With so much information out there, I expected to be overwhelmed by phone calls and a blog access spike. But nothing happened.
This lack of interest can only be blamed on traffic. On average, about 5 people walk the road in front of our farm every day. It's not really a busy road. 

So the signboard has no business-promoting effect at all, but it's still nice to have it !

Chickens showed zero interest in the new object. (Which is just as well.)

For historical record, this is me and the new signboard.
