Chelsea, I happen to know of a husband/wife team who basically fits your requirements. They are currently working a farm in Kona, Hawaii Isand. Their current compensation package is $175,000 per year plus housing on-site and utilities. So whatever you are offering, it would need to be better in order to entice them to move. I’ve seen these two operate a large farm before in the Ka’u district , and can vouch that they are competent, capable, and reliable. They are not permaculturalists, but are good farmers and farm managers.

If you are interested, let me know and I will pass the information onto them. I can’t say if they would be interested in moving, but they could contact you if they might be.

Hi Su Ba, Yes, please feel free to have them contact me. I would love to speak with them.  farmjob765@gmail.com

Ok.  I’ll pass the word along.
