The Experience

FPG is a vegan permaculture and animal rescue non-profit, established in 2017. We have rescued dozens of pasture-animals from the 2018 lava flow and Big Island Dairy closure. We also have a couple of gardens and fruit trees all over the property, which are beginning to produce. Our mission is to teach food independence and to treat all animals with love and respect, without intention of commercial exploitation.
