30 Bananas a Day!

Aloha everyone!

My name is Allan Yoza and I run an organic noni farm on the Big Island of Hawaii! We grow lots of organic, mostly wild, fruits! We have tons of bananas, mango,noni,lychee, sweet white pineapple, lillikoi (passionfruit), avocado, papaya, coconut, guava, waiwi strawberry guava, citrus, jak fruit, mac nuts, jav plum, surinam cherry, thimble berry, cherry tomatoes, rose apple, mulberry, young (fruiting) fig trees, surinam cherry, chinese water chestnuts, egg fruit, mountain apple, rose apple, and more! We plan on planting starfruit, sapodilla, chepedak, sapote's, melons, rambutan, longdon, and so much more! Have any ideas? We would love to hear!

We have some cabins to rent and we accept work exchange! We ask for 20 hours/week, in exchange for rooming, all the noni juice you can drink, all the fruits you can get your hands on, sunday surfing, bhakti yoga, kirtan, hiking etc! There are steam vents just a mile up the road for a sunrise steam every morning (or afternoon, or night time), lovely black sand beaches 5 miles up the road, and also hot water ponds close by!

Work includes all different types of farm work. It can be anything from planting trees, mulching, composting, vermi-culture, building, juicing, painting, cleaning, harvesting, pruning, you name it! Work can be real laid back, or it can be also hard labor for some good ol' fashion excercise!

30 it is ;) We love new volunteers because we are able to learn so much from them and them from us! One wwoofer just came in and got a vermi-culture system set up, planted 120+ non gmo- strawberry papaya, transplanted dozens and dozens of mangoes, jakfruit, avocado, banana, pineapple and so much more!

anywhere from 1 second to an eternity :) Obviously the longer the better. More knowledge and help is always a necessity at Dharma but everyone has the right to live, however they want!

I've been planning a trip to Hawaii for awhile to do this just this kinda thing. I'd be one of those people you can't seem to get rid of - would stay a long time if the environment was mutually beneficial. You might be hearing from me. Researching different prospects now.

Awesome! TreeOfLife (Jason) was just out here. He had a blast! Feel free to contact him with any questions, I'm sure he would love to answer them.

We love to teach! Experience is never a necessity. Everyone must learn someday! I'm sure you have some valuable information to share with us, anyways!

Thanks for the enthusiasm:) Maybe one day, when you get a chance, you can come! We just had a 20year old female from France stay here! You're welcome whenever it maybe, even in 3 yrs!

We/ they want to plant some durian but I hear this a TOUGH one to grow. They are extremely picky, and if they do take off, it's about 15-20 years to mature. The time is not a big deal for me, I believe that even if I cant consume it someone else will and will be extremely happy for my effort. There needs to be more research done of excactly what the durian likes and which are the best varieties. Don't want to work hard for 15 years to have a decent durian! Even though, a decent durian is better than no durian!!!

Yeah, I agree, that's why I asked the question, what the boundaries could be. I too don't buy the concept of infinity existing in the physical world. (Although who knows, it might be because it is beyond our ability to grasp)

A-ha! That's a very interesting way to think of it. Could it be that the universe isn't made of lengths and widths but of thoughts and experiences? Unlikely, but ineresting nonetheless. But surely, one can say that the experience of the universe…

I think you should be honest, and just tell her about your diet, and say "You know, I really don't want to hurt your feelings, I eat this way etc etc". and then tell her "just some bananas (or other fruit) will be fine." By the way, in my experienc…

Yes, I agree. Let's get in contact with JR and learn how we can do it. She's my hero. Please, let's do what we can. Just 15 bucks per person isn't a lot. it's like a days worth of food, or a few taxi rides. The more of us contribute, the less price…

Continental used to offer a fruit platter but for some reason discontinued the practice. I selected the "vegan" meal hoping that at least there will be a few raw things included. The "vegan" meal is quite sad. It's a "veggie cheeseburger", a roll w…

This is when it's tough being in a small minority..I feel for you! Personally, I would be up front and not just eat the vege burger in silence. If I was making something especially for someone and I later found out that they didn't really want to e…
