The land teaches us. Usually the hard way.
What does farming on the wet side of Hawaiʻi island actually look like? Rain, feral pigs, year-round bees, and a lot of hard-won lessons from our small farm upslope of Hilo.
Slimy Roots, Huge Potential
Mucus, microbes, and what's actually happening underground. The case for fertilizer-free farming.
Chickens and Coffee and Sheep and Trees
Rotational grazing, silvopastures, and why mixing animals with trees makes everything work better.
Power Plants
The green machines quietly improving our soil. Cover crops and the plants doing the heavy lifting.
Monocropping: Boo!...Food Forests: Yay!
Farming as collaboration instead of control. Why food forests make more sense than rows.
So Much Soil (Not Really)
What we expected when we started farming east Hawai'i. What we actually found was something else entirely.
A Place to Grow
A small farm in Hilo, Hawai'i. Goats, bees, bad days, good harvests, and everything we're learning along the way. Pull up a bucket and join us.
