We are recruiting new work partners for our regenerative organic farming cooperative. If you know East Hawaii, you know that arboriculture is inherent in regenerative tropical farming. Fertile land, equipment, funding, food, housing, and training provided, at no cost to qualified candidates. What you produce is what you earn. This is NOT gardening or homesteading or permaculture or any other hobby/lifestyle or agrotourism. We grow labor-intensive food crops for local markets. This is NOT an administrative or management opportunity. When intelligent, motivated people sweat together, they don't need idle people telling them what to do. We previously operated as Malamaki Farm School. We squandered millions of dollars teaching eager young folks who were infatuated with the IDEA of organic farming, but soon quit because they discovered that they had no love for the WORK. Proof that you are suitable for this opportunity lies only in your ability to document your sustained enjoyment of the profession. Your resume MUST document verifiable professional organic farming or agroforestry experience. Please be sure to include a cover letter with your application that communicates your understanding of what we are offering and why you believe you are a good fit. If you believe our recruitment process to be inappropriate, please join us and show us a better way. Organic farmers everywhere are desperate for reliable help. If you have little organic farming experience but believe it is your destiny, go help an organic farmer near you for a year, or two. Then get in touch. Our email address won't change. This is NOT a cannabis operation. We grow food, not poison. ZERO tolerance of drug use. Alcohol, cannabis and nicotine are drugs. At present, the facilities are in need of long-deferred maintenance. If you are hoping to step into your tropical farm fantasy, this is not it; however, all the resources are here for you to build your future in organic farming, if you are willing to put in the work.
