I learnt so much and had the best time! I am so happy to have met all the amazing people who are part of the Big Island Farms community, to share myself in this community and for the opportunity to experience the beauty of Hawaii, its sacred landscapes and its culture. I already look forward in excitement to hopefully coming back one day!

My time as an intern at Big Island Farms can be summed up by an abundance of compassion, inspiration, and thrill. No one greater than another, and no one absent in any moment throughout my whole experience.

My time here at Big Island Farms has been nothing but a blessing in my life. I have not only learned so much here but I have grown as a person in so many unexpected ways. I want to say a big thank you to the directors. They are amazing people and made my stay here even more amazing!! I will miss this farm and everyone in it!
