The farm is magical with just about every plant being not only edible, but beautiful. It rained nights but not in the day - it was the winter season so if you are traveling during this time, bring a jacket and long pants. It was really cool hearing all of the little frogs at night. The other houses were far enough away for us to feel very secluded, but close enough to walk over and visit. Rachel and Dan are very friendly and all of the other people on the property - whether permanent residents or guests - were lovely and welcoming.
The forest hale (little house in the forest) was clean and had plenty of spices, pots and pans, a french press and Rachel left a nice bag of coffee to use.
The zip line is 5 minutes away, the Haleakula river is nearby with a small beach right at the mouth where locals were surfing. I found several pieces of river jade!
Pahoa is also about a 7 minute drive with a natural foods grocery store, Kaleo - a very nice restaurant - a kava & kombucha bar (what an experience!!) - a real bar (which we didn't frequent but good to have the option) - a few local clothing and craft shops and some nice smoothie and breakfast or snack places.
Close also to Hilo but far enough removed for a truly Hawaiian rainforest experience. I highly recommend and will be back!
