From Québec to Crystal Forest, from the snow to the peaceful « lopin de terre ». I had a great time meeting her and Ty and B. Crystal does know a lot a thing! You’ll never see the end of her knowledge. I had to feed the animal (20 rabbits, 5 turkeys and 20 chickens, and the dogs, and the chicks, and the cat 😊) twice a day. I was also pulling weed out, the dishes, fixed a bit the pathways. We cutted banana tree, Tangerine. Ill remember those moment alot. The house as the basic ameneties, needs love, its small but hey, real life is outside. Thanks you again for those moment. Forever grateful for a first experience has woofing

Kezia and Jordan's place was an amazing experience. It's a young intentional community with a good foundation and tons of potential. I was there during the winter so can't speak for the gardens but there was lots of building and infrastructure projects to work on. A great community that prioritizes ecological balance and mental health, which was a bit of a suprise but not at all unwelcome or oppressive. A pretty piece of land that they are working hard to honor. Did not expect the level of comradarie and peace that I found during my time here. I will say the place is best suited to folks that are self sufficient, self regulating, and self motivated, but like to live communally. Which suited me very well, but could be a challenge to others. I would love to come back someday.

John & Kathy are amazing hosts and I have loved every second of working on their farm. They are both hilarious and so much fun to be around. The work includes all kinds of things - weeding, mowing, pickaxing, harvesting fruit, planting seeds, painting, and obviously keeping the area you live in tidy. I've been here with 6 other people and each one of them has been an amazing addition to the farm. It feels just like a large family here - cats, chickens, the occasional dog, and all of us of course. The farm is in the best location possible as we get cooler & more tropical weather to work in and warmer, slightly drier weather when we want to head down to the ocean. I've been here without a car or bike but have found it very easy to hitchhike, run, or walk wherever I need to go (it's fun if you're already an active person!). The people that live on this island are very welcoming and kind and love to help out when they can. If you get along with people easily, are a hard worker, and have a great attitude, you will thrive at this farm. This place will forever hold a special place in my heart. John & Kathy have made a wonderful little paradise with wonderful people!

Todd's property is beautiful. It's like a resort. There are lots of cool nooks and gardens to relax in when not working. I stayed in the yurt which is pretty comfortable. Todd gave clear instructions, and checked in frequently. 6 hours/day is more than I've worked for other hosts, but the accommodations were some of the nicest I've stayed at.

Kay and Brad are very kind and generous, offering food and nice housing in exchange for 3.4 hours of work a day. Kay is always open to questions and tries to make our time there more comfortable and enjoyable. The work is mostly weeding but if we get bored, they will give us other tasks around the garden. There is a lot of flexibility on when you want to put in hours but they like to have us work mornings on Mondays and Tuesdays. They are very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about gardening so if you want to learn, try to schedule your hours when they’re working and ask questions! Getting around the island without a car is difficult but if you plan your day well, it is definitely possible! The location is right on the Mamalahoa Hwy so it is right on the bus route and you can also hitchhike to south point and nearby beaches like Punalu’u (black sand).
