Hi aloha it’s Kalen & Sorrel

we have been homesteading, malama’ing…caring for & tending to this place together since 2018 with our hearts & hands & love & support of family & friends from around the world to help this beautiful earth be ‘āina momona…a healthy, rich, beautiful, diverse food & medicine forest…a sanctuary…a resting place…& gathering place…

on the homestead we do our best to keep it simple, sweet, organic & do everything with care…we are on a little island in the middle of the ocean. nature reigns here & we want to keep it this way. we try not to create much waste & we upcycle as much as possible, we do not use any harmful chemicals or gmo seeds. and most of our plants came from friends and family around the island and we are always propagating and sharing..

from our mountain we face east to the ocean where sunrise greets us everyday. our gardens see a lot of sun everyday and where the sun sets over our mountain range lets us know the time of year & the season change. the climate here is a blend of tropic subtropic and the trade winds keep it breezy. so plant life here is diverse and plenty..

to name a few planties…all kinds of ti leaf, bananas & plantains, cassava, taro, ulu breadfruit, soursop, sweetsop, figs, jackfruit, guavas, egg fruit, avocado, loquats, kukui nut, neem, curry leaf tree, moringa, chaya, surinam cherry, oranges, tangerines, lemons & limes, pomegranate, mountain apple, starfruit, lilikoi, mulberry, all kinds of mango, vanilla, roses, plumeria, ylang ylang, gardenia, honeysuckle, hibiscus, stephanotis, pikake, butterfly pea flower, lemongrass, lemon verbena, patchouli, tulsi & all kinds of basil, mint, rosemary & other culinaries, ashwagandha, gotu kola, ahualoa & other wild natives, gingers & turmerics, greens & so many other beautiful things… 

and with them we are always feeding the earth, feeding each other, trading & creating… beautiful gardens. beautiful food. beautiful gatherings.
