What we do

Hello everyone!
I’m putting a call out to people who are craving the farm life of old — a true community where like-minded folks with the same goals for their families come together on one piece of land. Everyone doing their part, sharing the chores, the profits, the hard days and the good ones, the work and the play.
The world is changing fast, and a lot of us feel that pull to get away from all the craziness. The things you see online are confusing and scary. Even the mainstream news feels fake. Prices keep climbing so high that most of us are just working to eat and pay bills. There’s no such thing as saving anymore. One flat tire, one doctor visit, one broken window, and you’re forced to work extra just to cover it. The food in the stores seems designed to make us sick, and the healthcare system feels like it’s only there to keep you hanging on long enough to take every dollar they can.
Families are broken. People are broken. The whole system feels broken. We’ve traded real living for convenience, and that convenience is costing us more and more of our time. If you’re a God-loving, Bible-believing, Jesus-following person like me, you already see the signs in Revelation. It’s time to act, not wait. The Bible tells us in the end times to run to the mountains. We don’t have mountains here in North Florida, so we went to the country — very few neighbors, way off the beaten path.
This homestead is for people who want a deeper walk with God and a simple, rewarding life helping each other. If you’re yearning to get back to working the land, planting seeds, raising animals for food and trade, now is the time.
I’ve been watching posts in the boondocking groups, homesteading groups, and off-grid living groups, and I keep seeing the same pattern. So many people say they want this life, but very few seem ready to actually build it. It feels like most folks just want to show up once everything’s already done — the hard work finished, the money spent, the fences up, the pens built. They want to do a few chores and then have the rest of their time free. And don’t get me wrong, that’s the goal down the road, but right now we need builders, not just users.
Where are the pioneers? Where are the people willing to start from the ground up? Where are the ones ready to sacrifice a little comfort in the beginning so we can all reap the rewards later? That’s who we’re looking for — people who understand that nothing changes if you don’t change it. People with dedication and real commitment.
I hear the excuses every day: “If I only had the money… if I had more time… if I had my own land… if I had the right resources… if I could just find people I get along with…” Or “I’d put in the work if it was already established… if I had a camper… if it wasn’t for my kids’ school…” The list goes on and on.
Back in the old days, people bought barren land, dug wells by hand, cut trees to build their homes and fences, and made it work with what they had. That’s the spirit we need. My vision is to focus on the people who don’t fit in anywhere else — older folks who’ve been abandoned by family and society, and homeless veterans. No veteran in this country should be living on the street after what they’ve sacrificed.
We have five acres ready for people and small animals, plus access to the adjoining ten acres for larger livestock and crops. This is not a finished place with electricity and flushing toilets yet. This is raw land — an investment of time, sweat, and faith. The reward is waking up to the sunrise, growing your own food, raising your own animals, and building something that feeds your body, mind, and spirit.
If anything I’ve said here speaks to you, if you feel that calling, please reach out. Let’s start a real conversation and see where it goes. We’re looking for people with vision, a servant’s heart, and the willingness to work alongside others to create something that matters.

Our Mission

To build a self-sustaining, off-grid homestead community rooted in faith, grow our food, raise animals, live simply, embrace healthier living, share burdens and blessings on common ground, escape the rat race, and thrive together in harmony with God’s creation.

Worktrade Opportunities on Big Island Hawaii

We are continuing our work-trade program at Bridge Hawaii for the right people on this beautiful 86-acre land located along the Hāmākua Coast. Ideally, we want to host those individuals who can help with the garden and who can support with build projects for up to a 3 month stay. This work-trade would include lodging, food staples, community kitchen, running hot water showers, off-grid electricity, and laundry. There is access to high speed wi-fi. We often have a car that can be reserved. We also have full bar signal strength with Verizon cellphone service. We have about 2 acres of permaculture garden that needs to be cared for including; weeding, planting, picking up mulch, some tree trimming, ect. We are currently in a building stage on the land. We have a few current grant projects we are working on and some build projects that are underway. We are an intentional community with about 8 permanent residents. There are rescue dairy cows, mini cows, mini donkeys, horses, a donkey, cats, dogs, and active bee hives. We are a drug and alcohol “free” space. A glass of wine or beer with dinner is fine, but absolutely no day drinking or parties. We have a meditation temple and many waterfall pools that are wonderful for swimming. Close to some of the nicest beaches on island. We have snorkeling gear and a kayak. Since this is an animal sanctuary, we limit the consumption of meat on the land. Fish, eggs, honey, and dairy are fine. Let me know if you’re interested by sending an email or text for our application. Maomi (801) 623-0738 ma***@*****************ii.com
