The Experience

Our lush exotic tropical family farm is in need of a few extra hands to care for the land. Picking fruit, pulling weeds and keeping the animals fed Cleaning the common & guest areas are the daily duties. If you have some additional skills like fixing things, love to paint and make things generally more beautiful that would be a bonus. No alcohol or nicotine on site please. Please be mindful and considerate in speech and action.

I truly don't have the words to describe how wonderful my experience here was! the lodge is the most magical place with wonderful, interesting, and open minded people. You learn so much about living off grid, maintaining a property, jungle life, sustainability, and Hawai'i. The work is super fair and pretty interesting- picking fruit, gardening, restoring furniture, painting, cleaning, and more. There's also a huge emphasis on having fun too!! Can't recommend this place enough, it definitely changed my life. Come with an open mind and open heart and you won't be disappointed!

The lodge is the most beautiful place with the most beautiful people! my time was spent on helping with a building project and learning about what it means to live off grid. there is a fruit forest and beautiful kitchen to learn how to prep and prepare them. would definitely recommend this place for someone interested in sustainable and community living!
