What we do

We are in the process of creating a “Hip Camp” eco-village that will allow travelers a place to enjoy the Hawaiian Island experience by camping at our eco village while they learn the ways of the land, harvesting their food , and adding their own touch of personality to the area. We are big dreamers, so we think anything is accomplishable and that there is no end to the creativity, and to the fun!
We have chicken, cows, some fruit trees like lychee, longan, avocados, bananas, coffee, guavas, tangerines, mulberry trees and a vegetable garden.
We need some help. We are always looking for passionate, hard-working, creative, and clean people who will inspire new ideas. We love to have fun. We love to be spontaneous. We love to learn from others and make lasting connections, but our work is also important to us and we want a great team that we can trust to work alongside us.
We want to grow. Tell us what you can bring to the table; how you can help us grow with your skill, your knowledge and your time.
We’re looking for plant lovers, builders, aspiring farmers, videographers/photographers, chefs, Tech bros & crypto lovers! Long term or short term.
This is your chance to find a great place to live and work in Hawaii while you make good use of your skills to create a lasting impact for years to come. We look forward to hearing from you.

Our Mission

Our mission is to work in harmony with nature to create a food forest/campsite where we provide locally grown food for our team members & our guests.

Join us in Our Adventure of Co-Creating a Life of Peace, Love, and Abundance Together!

LOOKING FOR OUR NEW FAMILY OF CO CREATORS TO JOIN OUR ADVENTURE! Message us to schedule a visit! More about us and our vision below! Read on and we look forward to hearing from you soon if you feel in alignment with our vision! A forming and co-created spiritually-oriented intentional community and homestead nestled in the beautiful woods of Northern Michigan. We are focused on self-awareness, free and open spiritual/consciousness development, sustainable living, self sufficiency, growing organic food, building small energy efficient homes/dwellings, peace, and freedom in all things. We are looking to build a community of like minded souls that share in our vision of creating a harmonious and sustainable way of life that is close to nature and focused on living from the heart/soul. Seeking kind, compassionate, caring, and emotionally mature souls who are good at non violent communication, resolving conflict peacefully, and working together. The community property is well on its way to sustainability already with a fruit orchard with over 18 apple trees and a variety of plum and pear trees. The property also has 2 very large organic gardens covering around 3 acres in total combined size filled with organic healthy vegetables for community self sufficiency, farm market selling, and food preserving (canning). We have plans to build a couple energy efficient green houses in the near future! We are also getting 30-40 chickens for egg production within the next month. Also considering a couple cows or goats for milk. We currently have 3 houses on the homestead property that are available to new community members for rent or work trade or a combination of both! The main community house has potentially 6 bedrooms available as well. We have plans to build multiple small/tiny homes and cabins in the beautiful woods here for members that are energy efficient and off grid with renewable clean energy/electricity and rainwater harvesting. We are working on a community in
