At this Homestead, we're dedicated to doing things are own damn way.
The credo to get in touch with is 'Do what ye will, but harm ye none'
... Socially libertarian by default and spiritually confused by
necessity, we're looking to take things to the next level, while
maintaining a high level of sustainable comfort.
Instruction
in tropical fruit tree propagation is available and a priority at this
time. Other projects include, Spring capping for drinking water,
Gorilla gardening in the food forest, Establishing low
maintenance/input poultry egg production system. The theme to these
projects is low cost/low maintenance. A tried a true recipe for
success.
Got your own ideas about how to set up a sustainable ag. system? All reasonable projects will be considered.
The vision is a nearly self-sustaining permaculture system based around
tropical fruits and grazing animals. Land Stewardship and Economic
viability are the only common thread. The final vision will change like
the weather.
The setting is very rural but we are located within a mile of a store,
post office, two beach parks, free internet cafe, two bakeries,
multiple eateries, vegan museum(seriously), and a Buddhist Bed and
Breakfast that holds community events all year round.
Located
on the wet side of the big island at 500ft-50ft elv. less than a mile
from the ocean. The homestead begins at the edge of one of the islands
largest rivers(Akaka falls) and has an extreme topogaraphy, including
inverted cliff sides 400ft tall too level areas with rockless soil
reaching down over 12 feet!
