The Flavor Farm · Hāmākua Coast, Hawaiʻi

Covered outdoor living space open to the garden

Visit The Working Part

Time on the farm is a member work visit — not near the farm, not overlooking it. Inside it.

Length

A Week, Not A Weekend

Member work visits generally begin at one week; some groups take two. The first days are for learning the ground. The rest are for doing something with it.

There is no nightly booking here and no public lodging — participation is what brings you onto the farm.

Together

Come As A Group

The farm is arranged for people who already belong to each other — families, old friends, a few households who travel together. Groups can be small, or as many as two dozen.

Mornings, meals and work are shared.

Days

Work Outside

Mornings are usually early and physical. What you do depends on the season and what the farm needs that week.

Afternoons

Restore Here

Outdoor showers you will not want to give up. A soaking pool. Sauna with the ocean in front of it. A cold plunge. Shade, hammocks, and a long stretch of nothing required.

Evenings

Around The Table

Breakfast is the meal we take most seriously, because of where it comes from. Dinners are long, shared and mostly grown within sight of the table.

Around the visit

Coming Without A Work Visit

Workshops, community days and invited events bring other people onto the farm through the year. For those, we will keep a short list of places to stay along this coast.

Return

The Second Visit Is The Good One

Members hold a place in the year and come back to the same ground — older trees, better soil, the same faces in the kitchen.
