“We recently spent two nights on your farm, and they were easily the two most memorable days for me while on the Big Island. You and your home radiate joy and beauty. I hope to return someday for a longer stay! Keep being awesome.” -Shannon U.
Come visit us sometime!
Tours, farm stays, volunteering in the garden…
We love to meet new people, and a large part of our vision is sharing our lifestyle with others who wish to learn about it.
If you are thinking of a visit to our farm, please contact us after reading these guidelines.
For overnight stays, please fill out and send the Visitor Information Form.
DAY VISITS
We are usually open for short day visits, where you can:
– Join us for a meal for a donation ($12). This is a good time to chat with us.
– Go on a guided permaculture tour ($60 + donation): This gives you 60-90 minutes of focused attention from a member who will show you the permaculture aspects of our farm and answer your questions.
– Help in the garden during one of our morning work parties, in trade for a meal or some produce that we have in abundance. You will be working with at least one member, and any number of farm supporters who are staying with us. Work parties are 3 hours long. We do not recommend this option if you have young children.
Please call or email before you arrive; this is our home and some times are better than others for visiting.
If you have a child, please plan on having your child with you as you visit.
TOURS
We provide tours of our gardens and facilities for small and large groups. Call to schedule one in advance, and allow at least 3 days for us to return your call. This helps us to arrange our schedule to meet with you.
OVERNIGHT LODGING AND MEALS – Staying at Our Farm
Some guests would really like to share a few days with us to get the feel of our daily life. Please contact us if that is your interest. Please fill out and return the Visitor Information Form so we can better respond to your intentions and needs. Space is limited, so give us lots of notice!
Here is what a recent visitor said after a tour and work party:
“I wanted to thank you for taking time out of your day to allow us to see your beautiful property and see how more people should live. I would love to come visit and help out again sometime and just get to know all of you.
I have a heart condition and I haven’t felt so much peace, since my days of camping in the woods at cross camp in the California mountain’s in my much younger days.
I can’t thank you enough for giving me a truly restful day and a little bit of peace in a chaotic world. I hope that we helped you while we were there, if only a bit.”
If you would like to stay for a longer time, look at our pages about farm support. We ask for a one month minimum stay in most cases.
Contact us by Phone at 808-443-4076 or email us.
We hope to meet you soon!
