There are some farms here. i don't know of any with the work exchange you have in mind. The only one I know of just started and doesn't have much to offer. Pangaia on the big island or Ono Farms on Maui may be better places to be.

It's my current dream to go find a place to stay on the Big Island. I was laid off recently and work is tight right now in Michigan. I'm thinking now may be a good time. I have no idea how to get started even.

Richard - it's the best time.

I took the train to Portland. And then flew Hawaiian from Portland to Kona (cheaper than Hilo).
I know for the east side / coast of the island it's rainy season into February.

Are you talking work exchange or your own place?

I've got close to everything set up. I'm flying out feb 3rd to hilo with eatsleepsurfrunraw and the first farms we're hitting up with is Dharma. As Joel said, east coast is in it's raining season up untill Feb. So by the time we get there everything should be drying up.

I am very excited. Just taking change of clothing (and rain gear), hammock, bike with a trailer, probably a couple of books, with a couple of survival tools (knife, sharpening stone,magnesium stick)

I currently have 8 farms lined up on the east coast. I need to contact way more, and I'm waiting to hear back from a bunch. I plan on traveling all of the islands. I'm going to hitch rides from boaters to the next islands.

Can't wait to finally live!

What kind of bike trailer do you have? I have a B.O.B trailer, it's awesome. Do you need a license for bicycles in Hawaii?

I do want to hear more. Do keep in touch and keep us posted. Thanks,

Wayne

I currently don't have a trailer. But I believe I will be getting a BOB also. I'm not sure about license's in hawaii, good question. I guess I will find out soon :)

I will keep updates on here, let everyone know how it is going. I'm stoked!

I'm on the same boat. If any organic farm needs me, can feed me organic raw food and let me pitch a tent, i'm all yours.
