Hawaiian Retreat is run by Janelle, who tends the trees, hosts guests, and cooks what the orchard gives. The days here are simple - pruning, harvesting, teaching, and sharing meals with whoever's gathered around the table. The farm crew helps keep things running, from the fruit stand to the garden beds, and together we maintain what Josanna started. When you stay here, you join that rhythm and become part of her ongoing story.

Hawaiian Retreat is led by Janelle, chef and organic master gardener, who has been stewarding this land and feeding people from it for decades. She turns whatever the orchard offers into nourishing meals - vegan, vegetarian, macrobiotic, Ayurvedic, or just plain delicious. Josanna's family still walks these rows, anchoring the farm in her memory and spirit. A rotating crew of farm hands, WWOOF students, and longtime helpers keep the fruit stand stocked, the gardens tended, and the off-grid systems running. When you visit, you don't just meet hosts - you share space with people who truly live here, who remember stories tree by tree, and who enjoy showing curious guests how real farm life feels.
