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

Kauai, the Garden Island of Hawaii, 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. Four years ago we bought almost 3 acres of stream front bamboo/grass covered property within walking distance of two of the best beaches anywhere (Moloa'a and Larsen's). Facebook's Mark Zuckerberg lives chose to live very nearby. We have two 200 year old mango trees, a young food forest, and are totally off grid. It is rare on Kauai to find a place where you can avoid the sounds of the small highway that encircles the island, but ours is one. 

Steve is passionate about growing and preparing food, involved in the ManKind Project (mkpusa.org), and has many skills that shaped our homestead we call Heartstream. He knows some Spanish and Italian.

I, DJ, am a professional in home caregiver, mostly of elders and hospice. 

We are both active in personal growth and compassionate communication. This is a health conscious, no nicotine zone with 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 a car, a bikes, camping and watersports gear. The internet is soley via hotspots. .

Your accommodations are one or two 10’ x 20’ softside cabins on a plywood platforms and one that is a solar energy powered totally furnished and supplied kitchen with a full size gas stove and a medium size refrigerator. You have your own flush toilet bathroom a private hot water stall shower with dressing area.

For your work trade, we mostly need help with organic gardening and yard maintenance (we have a riding mower), and weeding. We currently are offering a work trade for 10-15 hours/week/person with the option for more hours paid.
