About.
Honaunau Farm is an evolving community, wellness retreat and an aspiring regenerative living model on the Big Island of Hawaii. Located on the foot hills of Mauna Loa Volcano our land has beautiful sweeping views of Kealakekua Bay and Honaunau Place of Refuge.
During our high season from Nov-April we offer wellness retreats and wellness services, regenerative agriculture/permaculture education opportunities and packages.
We offer guest accommodations year round.
We invite you to come learn, share, grow, create and evolve with us as we experience living in relationship with each other and in harmony with the land we call home.
Our farm on the hill is set atop old lava flows...as is everything on this ever growing island. We have tropical volcanic soils with a very thin layer of topsoil, which makes gardening an adventure and a year round endeavor. On the land we have many different types of fruit trees including a large ulu tree, 16 different bananas (which are not technically trees but the world's largest herb), plantains, cherimoya, papaya, lychee, loquat, jaboticaba, tree tomato, soursop, a handful of avocado and coconut trees and over 150 macadamia nut trees. We also have a sugar cane, bamboo, a taro patch, sweet potato and kabocha patches, turmeric beds, lillikoi vines and veggie gardens. Many of the trees are integrated with our animals for feed and fertilizer. Our animals include laying hens, ducks, milking sheep and goats...two sweet dogs and two kitties.
