Every parrot has a story. You’ll learn all about our rainbow-colored rescues in Kona’s only parrot sanctuary. We’ll start with our mission: to give every displaced parrot a nutritious diet, large space to fly, and a safe place to interact with other parrots (and people). Next, we'll take a walk around the sanctuary, where you can get to know the range of personalities of cockatoos, lovebirds, macaws, and more species. Throughout the tour, you will have many photo opportunities, especially with our well-trained parrots. Other things to note: Wear casual clothes, closed-toe shoes, sunscreen, insect repellent, a hat, and bring a camera. Parrots in Paradise Sanctuary is also home to two rescue dogs, two Holstein cows and two sulcata tortoise. While we like to keep our group sizes small to enhance a personal experience, we are open to hosting larger family/friend groups with more than six individuals.

Aloha and Welcome as we gather around the information table at Sharkey's 100-year old farmhouse in the historic plantation village of Papaikou. Sample our freshly brewed 100% Hawaiian coffee or cacao tea, grown right here on the farm. From there we begin an easy walk through our orchards where you'll learn about Hawaiian coffee growth and production. Interwoven the coffee are rows of cacao trees. Depending on the time of year, you can usually see tiny flowers and large, multi-colored pods hanging from trunks and branches. Long, heavy vanilla vines grow up the cacao trees, nature's perfect trellis! We'll show you how each vanilla orchid is delicately hand-pollinated to produce long "hands" of vanilla beans. We'll then proceed to the "Slab" where the pods are 'cracked' before the fermentation process. Next we move into the greenhouse where flats of newly planted seedlings just beginning their journey grow alongside large screens filled with coffee and cacao beans slowly drying to perfection.

Join me on my off-Grid Homestead in the jungle of Hawaii and learn what it takes to develop a property from raw jungle to a modest homestead. We will explore the homestead upon arrival and talk about all the trials and tribulations my partner and I have gone through developing the homestead to this point. We are 4 years into the development and the kitchen was the first milestone to be fully completed. We are still working diligently on developing the property and our living spaces. We have done all of the work ourselves at our own pace. As a Chef and homesteader, I will teach you about all of the different and amazing produce the Island of Hawaii has to offer and the items I am working on growing on the homestead. Once we have completed the tour of the homestead, we will make our way to the kitchen where I will prepare brunch and talk story. Since the homestead is developing, it has yet to produce a full harvest, for our homestead brunch I will source our bounty partially from the homestead, local farms and foraging in the area. Feel free to bring adult beverages for yourself or offerings you would enjoy including in our brunch experience. We are currently expecting a new addition to the homestead. We will be having a baby boy at the end of January 2024 and won't be doing experiences the last few weeks of January and will reopen bookings after March.
