Our vision for the farm is a three-tiered permaculture system. We see Kona coffee as our middle story and our cash crop that goes out to the wider world. Underneath will be our vegetables and herbs which will go into CSA boxes which we'll market on the Kona side of the Big Island. Our over story includes large fruit and nut trees which we eat from and will nourish our ohana to live sustainably from the land. We are working with what is here already including ancient hawaiian rock walls and toward and edible ecosystem modelled on the Honaunau valley's traditional forest.

We try to live sustainably & farm organically. Our house and cabin are solar and rain catchment. We love this off-the-grid living and move more toward it each day. We farm organically, trying to keep our inputs very low, recycling as much into compost as possible. We are certified by HOFA (Hawaiian Organic Farmers Association). We try to reduce our use of electric appliance and have attached our coffee pulper to an exercise bicycle, use a hand washing machine, and a treadle sewing machine.
