Big Island Farms

Big Island Farms Hawaii based education center seeking growers of knowledge, spirit, and produce.

Each semester, at Big Island Farms, we welcome a few like-minded individuals to join our Hawaii internship program, here on our organic permaculture farm. BIF is located on the tropical Hamakua coast of Hawaii's Big Island, five miles from the breathtaking Waipio Valley and historic Honokaa Town. The quaint but thriving local community is interconnected with 10 of the world's 14 available microclimates, ranging from vibrant jungle to arid desert tundra. This ancient and sacred island lend Big Island Farms a culturally and biologically rich environment. Boasting the tallest mountain, 'Mauna Kea'​, the worlds most active volcano, 'Kiluaea'​ and the largest mountain, 'Mauna Loa'​ (in cubic feet), the Big Island of Hawaii is a treasure of geological extremes like no where else on earth. This internship opportunity is an investment into an interdisciplinary, entrepreneurial, consciously cultivated project that wholly seeks to positively impact the planet, work towards a more sustainable lifestyle, and allow individuals to actively pursue their passions. Our Programs Include:
Outdoor Recreation, Ecological Design, Farm-to-Table, Organic Agriculture and Tropical Horticulture, and Biology

We are not a program that needs people to come and merely maintain an already designed system of actions or events. We are a program that aspires to design and build this ecosystem alongside eager-to-learn individuals.

Food Forest #4 is now at stage three in its evolution.
The mangoes can grow up to 80 ft tall, so we used the space in between for 4 years as market gardens, now our larger trees are needing root space, so we are planting our semi-permanent resident and going to our next stage of food web evolution.
