We enjoy sharing our knowledge on the cultivation and use of plants as food, medicine and wellness. Guests are welcome to wander the farm and visit with the animals - we have goats, sheep, ducks, chickens, as well as 1 loving dog and 3 cats. Guests have access to the retreat area that includes the outdoor shower, infrared sauna and yoga studio, and also have access to snorkel gear. We are very open to interacting with guests as we are an educational farm, and also are more than happy to give you your space. There is typically a farm resident present to orient you if needed. We are located in a rural, tropical agricultural zone in the heart of Kona coffee and tropical fruit farmlands. With very little disturbance from light and with the wide view of the sky, viewing stars or watching the moon rise over the mountain and set over the ocean is amazing. Our area has access to beautiful beaches, hikes, snorkeling, and is near the Puʻuhonua o Hoʻnaunau National Park. We also encourage guests to visit our local restaurants, cafes and shops nearby. There are the typical day time sounds of an active, working farm with operating farm equipment, processing of agricultural products, and often hold educational tours/workshops. The night time is also active with the sounds of cocqui frogs, roosters, and other farm animals from neighboring farms. Car rental is recommended as there is no public transportation from the airport to our farm. From a 2013 study, it was assessed that the tourism industry was responsible for “21.7% of the island’s total energy consumption, 44.7% of the island-wide water consumption, and 10.7% of the island-wide waste generation” on the Big Island. We are an ecologically focused farm community, so please be aware of your consumption of natural resources and how much trash you produce during your stay with us by maximizing your recycling/composting and using electricity, gas and water conservatively. Please also support the local economy by dining and shopping at our local farmers markets, restaurants and shops.
