Hawaii Food Forest: 1 Year Transformation!

[@LivingEmpoweredToday]

Hay you two! Susan here..Miss you guys and that SHOWER was fantastic. You are my muses!❤

[@peggytreichel7983]

Amazing! Can’t get over what you’ve accomplished in a year. Also wowed by the growth. You should be very proud of all your hard work

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

Peggy Treichel thank you! Appreciate you ❤️

[@dillwill1813]

Peace your vibe takes me back and I found myself smiling. Nice work.

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

Aw how sweet! Thanks for your comment 🥰

[@lamariposafoundationinc.1829]

Hey Jamie and Rob!! Wow what a transformation! Hoping y'all make it back to Wisconsin this year. We are in the process as well of turning our back yard into a food forest. Also we just funded our first food forest for a family in Nicaragua. Love learning how to garden in symbiosis with nature after planting in rows for so many years. Really glad you are sharing your experience and cant wait to see your next vid...

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

Aloha. That’s amazing! Thank you for sharing & for your support. We will be doing a music tour this coming August-September in the Midwest! 💖

We did all of this 45 years ago….. fun to watch…we’ve been together 59 years… you’d like the big green Polynesian grapefruit… we’ve eventually had to fence our ground growing food from the pigs

Good work!! Can't wait to visit!!!

[@blaqkstar]

Sweet, guys. Great work!

[@piolaappleseed6]

Nice work you guys! Reminds me so much of our early days 😁 I love the pink lady toilet. That's one of the things we have yet to work on 🤸🌞

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

paulina Aw thank you!! It was already there but didn’t function so well as the compost toilet so I figured why not! ✨🥰🤙🏼

[@da.vinemusic]

This is absolutely amazing! You guys have worked SO hard on this. Love you!

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

You're the best!

[@ziggy5369]

Super excited to have the universe let me stumble across this. You guys are living my dream to a tee. Can't wait to see more videos and learn about living of the land in Hawaii... I plan on moving to the Big Island as soon as I can afford it maybe our paths will cross.

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

Nice! a lot of good ideas🌈😃🤙

[@gloriarivera9004]

I loved the way you live

[@katl1489]

Love what you guys have done! We are in HPP and looking at property and want to do an off grid situation too. Are there LFAs where you are? Also how is the mold situation and mosquitos? Was the land cleared before you bought it?

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

Katarzyna S thank you so much! That’s awesome 🤙🏼 we do not personally have fire ants here and I haven’t heard of many of my neighbors having them. We are very cautious about what we bring into the property. The mold is prevelant. I feel it’s unavoidable no matter where you live. Were pretty good at keeping the mosquitos at bay. As long as we don’t keep any water sitting around without screen they aren’t too bad. And a 1/4 of the 3 acres had been ripped 20 years prior, so when we did some clearing it was apparent where the previous owner had gotten work done. It was nice because we had a driveway and a small structure on the property when we bought it, so that was a plus! All the rest of the land was raw so we did some hand clearing on one portion, and then got some dozer work on another 1/4 acre. We still have like 1.5 acres that we haven’t touched! Lots of land to work with!

Looking good!!! 5 n E road!

Geary haynes thank you!! Will have to visit sometime :)

[@shadwells460]

What part of big Island are you at and what is the approximate elevation? Thanks for sharing your journey.

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

Shad Wells thanks for asking! We live in Hawaiian Acres, and our elevation is 1,100. 🤗

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

bone hammer I hear ya. The economy can be tough on the east side of the island. I would say for us living off grid we spend probably $100 a month? Hard to say. We have animals so pretty much we’re spending money on them, gas for the car, and propane for cooking/showering. We Are on food stamps so don’t really have to worry about food expenses. Robs on disability because he has back pain and can’t really do the landscaping work he was doing before.

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

bone hammer I guess it all depends what you’re looking for. There’s quite a bit of landscaping opportunities if you have your own equipment. I know our friends just got jobs as bus drivers. And the plan is to continue making KZbin videos, but it’s been tough with everything else in life plus having the computer charge/WiFi to upload the videos!! More to come soon ♥️ thanks for your interest and encouragement!

[@Ishotthesheriff.]

Very informative video!! I’m planning on moving there in the near future and would love to potentially be a part time worker beforehand. Curious, how do you find shadow workers who are interested in helping out?

[@Ishotthesheriff.]

Can’t wait for the next video!

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

mellowed yellow thank you for your support! Definitely we usually are the first place people land to get familiar with the island. So far we’ve only had a handful of work traders that were all through word of mouth/ mutual friends. We have limited space at the moment, so not really seeking out work traders but open to people coming!

3 acres! 🤗

[@randallmedeiros2684]

Not suitable for human habitation. I wonder what the Department of Health and Building Department will think about it.

[@regenerootshawaii3142]

@@randallmedeiros2684 lol this is how many people are living on this island. The building and health depts couldn’t care less. It’s a different type of world out here. + this video was from our first year, and we’ve made a lot of progress in the 5+ years living here.
