Hawaii Ecological Farm Services
Professional Ecological Farm Consulting, Design, & Education
Farming isn't easy,
especially in Hawaii. High labor and input costs make farmers' bills add up quickly. Constant work, year-round weeds, pests, and plant diseases conspire against farmers...until farmers learn how to conspire with nature.
We have helped 100's of farmers throughout the Hawaiian Islands develop Ecological Farms that "Let Nature do the work".
With over 25 years of experience in Ecological Agriculture including organic farming, polyculture/plant communities, integrated pest management, agroforestry, permaculture, natural farming, Korean Natural Farming, No-till / Biotill and more in a wide variety of climates and growing conditions, we know what it takes to transform the most challenging & degraded locations into high production / low maintenance Ecological Farms.
From agroforestry to "Zuiki" taro, we can help you develop additional crops, cover cropping systems, windbreaks, native and pollinator habitat, biological erosion controls, natural farming practices, and many other passive systems that let nature do the work.
Innovators in Biotilling,
Biofertilization,
& Biological Weed Control
One thing that sets us apart is that we develop and refine innovative scalable practices that mimic nature to help farmers beat the weeds, pests, and plant diseases naturally.
Biotilling systems convert compacted dead soils into deep, dark, airy soils within 2 months. Instead of adding tons of compost and tilling it in, we throw biotilling seeds inocculated with beneficial microbes on the seed bed and let them rip the soil deeper than any machine for a fraction of the price.
Biofertilization occurs with local indigenous microorganisms, nitrogen-fixing plants, and green manures which can cut dependence on imported fertilizers while revitalizing production and the health of the land. Life is what generates the fertility of the soil in nature--farm like nature!
Biological weed control naturally eliminates weeds from the farming equation through time tested interplanting systems & installation and maintenance practices & protocol.
