Olana Organic Farm is a fertile 3 acre permaculture farm dedicated to building sustainable tropical agricultural systems on a human scale. We are located on the beautiful north shore of the Garden Island of Kauai. Our farm has stunning ocean views and is close to remote beaches with excellent snorkeling, swimming and surfing.

Current plantings include an integrated and diverse mix of avocado, citrus, longan, lychee, ginger, turmeric, pineapple, banana, papaya, agroforestry trees, natives, bamboo, culinary and medicinal herbs, assorted vegetable crops, tropical flowers, chickens and much more.

There is ample opportunity to learn practical methods of healing the earth and sustainable agriculture in a tropical environment. We are looking for positive and enthusiastic individuals to assist with the stewardship of our land and expanding the marketing of our products. Work will include planting, harvesting, weeding, mulching, propagation, nursery work, tropical landscaping and farm product marketing. 

In exchange for 20 hrs of hard work per week, volunteers have access to a rustic cabin or covered tent platform, outdoor solar hot shower, indoor toilet, cooking facilities and fresh food from the farm.  Wireless high-speed web access available.  Please no tobacco. We are unable to host children or pets at this time. Two to four volunteers are needed on a year-round basis since it is warm and growing activity is continuous. 

Contact us in advance to arrange for your visit, email is preferred. We will agree on the length of stay after the first one or two weeks. We prefer longer-term commitments (3-9 months) with the right individuals. Mahalo!
