Homesteader Help: Many options from gardening to building. - Moloa'a Valley, Kilauea, Kauai, HI

Experience Why Kauai is the World's Favorite Place for so Many!

Kauai, the Garden Island, is filled with natural beauty and aloha (loving friendliness). We came to Kauai on our honeymoon in 1991 and never left. We raised our daughter here on our organic permaculture farm, ran a gourmet catering business and rented honeymoon cottages. We had our retirement funds swindled away but inherited just enough to buy our 2.7 acres of stream front bamboo/grass covered property in 2019. We are within walking distance of two of the best beaches anywhere (Moloa'a and Larsen's). Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg lives about a quarter mile from us. We have two 200 year old mango trees, a lovely meadow/lawn and are totally off grid.It is rare on Kauai to find a place where you can avoid the sounds of the highway, but ours is one.

Kauai has been one of the safest places to be during the pandemic. We are just now experimenting with opening tourism to those who have been recently tested. 

Steve has been a gourmet chef for 40 years and recently became a professional handyman who could help you learn many skills. He knows some Spanish and Italian. 

After doing the Hospice Volunteer Training and the end of life care for a number of folks, I am in training to become a Certified Death Doula. I am a Licensed Nurses Aide and have been an entrepreneur of a few businesses. I am currently a professional organizer, office and landscaping assistant and property manager a 5 million dollar home for sale.

We are both active in personal growth and compassionate communication. This is a health conscious no nicotine zone with filtered water and some of the world’s cleanest air.  We have been Yuppies but mostly hippies. We are very accepting of LGBTQ. We have two cats and are open to a quiet dog. We have lots of equipment to share such as our vehicles, bikes, camping and watersports gear. The only internet is via hotspots. .

Your accommodations are a 10’ x 20’ softside cabin on a plywood platform for your private space but more could be added. The rest is shared with a lovely 36 year old, Haley, from Alaska. It includes a flush toilet bathroom, a hot water stall shower, a solar energy powered totally supplied kitchen with a full size gas stove, a smallish refrigerator but lots of cooler space, and a living area with a large corner couch. 

For work, we want you to do what you enjoy. There are lots of choices: organic gardening and yard maintenance (we have a zero turn riding mower), house cleaning or building (we plan to build a 500 sq ft home for us but also are zoned to have a larger home (for you?), joining in my new caretaking business, working with Steve in the handyman business, etc. We currently are offering a work trade for 15 hours/week/person.
