We build biological self-sufficient systems. Including alternative energy, vermiculture, aquaculture/aquaponics, sustainable agriculture and edible landscapes.
We are in the process of designing, building, and maintaining several new regenerative farms on Maui. This allows a unique opportunity to immerse yourself, hands-on, on working farms and gain the knowledge to expand your horizons in regenerative careers.
This is a 3-, 6-, or 12-month internship.
At the end of 12-month internship program we offer certificates of completion.

This internship requires you to spend quite a bit of time outside in the elements, dealing with earthworms and compost, pulling weeds and building your relationship with the natural world.
This includes insects and pollen, so if you have allergies or are super sensitive to this environment then it may not be a good fit for you.

We will receive many inquiries about this, so please be patient for us to review and respond.
