About Us
A unique farming opportunity awaits on land steeped in years of farming history. Founded by Stephen and Gloria Decater in 1977, Live Power Community Farm grew from Alan Chadwick’s famous Covelo Garden Project. Directly trained by Chadwick, master farmer Stephen Decater nurtured the soil through biodynamic farming practices, horse power, and love.
Seeking farm crew members! Live Power Community Farm is a biodynamic farm with a rich history in beautiful Northern California. As well as a large vegetable garden, the farm is home to horses, cows, sheep, chickens, and pigs. We host frequent 3-4 day school class visits during the spring and fall, connecting children to the soil, the plants, the animals and the system that feeds hearts, minds, and bodies. The farm crew will participate full time in the daily running of the farm, learn how to care for the many animals and vegetable garden, and engage school children in farming life.

Family owned Pu’u O Hoku Ranch, Biodynamic conservation land on the east end of Molokai seeking an experienced Horticulturalist/Nurseryperson/Landscaper.
Our central business is a Retreat Center, for which our biodynamic garden, native landscaping and orchards are core. Equally important are our restorations of native dryland forests to reduce silt-laden-runoff onto Molokai’s coral reef, and conservation of upland forests.
To fulfill our goals, this position must participate in envisioning the long-term, climate-adapted landscape of all grounds and gardens, design landscaping, maintain and increase nursery capacity, care and pruning of orchards, and manage a small team of staff, in concert with our Ranch Manager. While there is oversight, we do expect a hands-on approach to the work. Experience in seed- collecting, nursery propagation and orchard care, and some knowledge of native plants is essential. Applicants with experience in Biodynamic practices preferred.
We expect applicants to have a passion for the native flora of Hawaii, unrestricted physical capabilities, a problem-solving attitude, and a personable manner with coworkers and guests. We welcome self-motivated applicants with respect for local customs and traditions and the social skills to work well as part of a diverse team in a remote location.
If you are interested in joining our dedicated team, please apply with a letter of interest and experience, resume and references to: rudi@puuohoku.com, office@puuohoku.com, assistant@puuohoku.com
