Description
Hello. My name is Josh and I own a 3 acres fruit farm in Kiluea Hi - located in Kauai. I have a well cared for home and orchard as well as ornamental border gardens that get maintained - as well as a small kitchen garden. I am looking for someone to work for 1-2 weeks before or after exploring the island. I can provide minimum wage for 25 hours a week as well as 1 meal a day. I eat simply (lots of avocado toast and fruits). Dinner may be included or there is food 1.5 miles either direction and hitching is a regular practice for many visitors for getting around.
I expect clean and well kept individuals - no excessive drug/alcohol use or anyone who intends to need longer accommodation than I can provide. Self sufficiency and good workers need only apply.

Help
I have a 3 acre farm on Kauai’s north shore . I need help for 1-2 weeks harvesting trimming and general tree help as well as garden bed maintenance around the home. I need someone very soon and I can accommodate minimum wage plus simple accommodation. If you are in the islands already great, if coming in from the mainland -good too. Meals are negotiable but farm produce is available (avocado, tangelo, banana etc) along with simple cooler or prep area to have purchased items. I do not have transportation except possible initial pickup from the airport or transfer to the farm.

Accommodation
I have 2 accommodations depending on availability- one is a smaller camp like experience with 12x12 covered sleeping quarters and a covered composting toilet and outdoor shower. The 2nd is space in the garage (converted to a living area) when available.
What else ...
Most visitors to Kaua’i plan part of their stay to include visits to the Napali coast or the Kalalau trail for hiking and sightseeing. Ke’e beach and Lumihai are also places to visit - or just tour the island and see all sides. Visitors will also want to plan to go west to see Waimea Canyon.
