Une possibilité de fuite ?

• Description

  We are a 5 acre NO SPRAY small family farm in Honolulu, HI in the town of Hawaii Kai. This farm has been in the family for almost 40 years. My grandmother is still alive and this is where I grew up as a child. On a clear day you can view a beautiful sunset.

  We require a minimum of 3 weeks per stay and a can only confirm a maximum of 2 months. Sometimes we are able to accommodate 2 weeks and have extended some stays longer than our 2 month maximum.

  Transportation to the farm is either taking the bus, taxi or shuttle.

  Personal items to bring: water bottle, garden gloves, shoes and clothing that you would not mind getting dirty or ruined, and a light jacket (or rain jacket).

  We have a no drinking alcohol and no using drugs on the farm.

• Help

  We are looking for volunteers who are self-motivated and reliable. Our volunteers will be helping us around the farm.

  We have two nurseries, an aquaponics system, and pasture raised egg laying chickens.

  For example some of the help around the farm:
  - building a shed, fixing the chicken coop or pig pens
  - taking care of plants in the nursery or learn how to grow food organically from seedling to transplanting
  - watering the fields and learning the importance of why we do it a specific way on the farm
  - weeding because we are a NO spray farm
  - walking our dogs
  - feeding our pet pigs, Tilapia, African Sulcata Tortoise, and egg laying hens
  - collecting eggs and learning an important lesson on washing eggs which we do by hand
  - help start and maintain our worm bin and soldier fly larvae bin
  - making homemade compost

  If you are unable to provide any of the duties listed above or choose not to follow directions, you will be asked to relocate.

• Languages spoken

  English

• Accommodation

  You will have to provide your own tent.
  We have an outdoor shower. Enclosed full kitchen facility.
  So, if you love camping and being outdoors this is the place.

  We will provide produce from our NO SPRAY farm. We also shop at the grocery store so that you will be able to cook and eat 3 meals a day to be consumed on the farm, 7 days a week. We do not provide snack items and you will have to prepare your own meals.

• What else …

  We are located near beaches, hiking trails, a movie theater ($6 Tuesday), restaurants, and more. We are located on the slopes of Koko Crater.

  Public transportation is easy to use. Sometimes purchasing a month bus pass is beneficial. If you are staying long and arrive at the beginning of the month then the pass is worth it. If you are going to use public transportation the the monthly pass is also worth it. No hassles with transfers expiring and it's unlimited.

  Our volunteers have gone surfing, hiking, and downtown to see a comedy show. You can also find free things to do and see.

  Our location offers a variety of activities if you are willing to make the most of your stay. We had volunteers that stayed with us for 2 months and was getting the full experience. If you ask, I might be able to help you get in contact with people like join a soccer club for example.
