Maui Bees is currently seeking an individual or couple to fill a permanent staff position on a lovely 4-acre farm. Initially the position has a one month trial period and becomes six month internship work-trade with a stipend. After six months, if it’s a match for you and for the owners the position will become a permanent work trade with pay that is commensurate with your abilities. Maui Bees Farm is a community minded farm built on labor intensive natural farming. You’ll milk cows and goats for “on farm” consumption, manage vegetables and orchards, keep 150 laying hens and approximately 175 colonies of honey bees. The farm stand and serve the Maui community with vegetables, eggs and honey as well as participate in some farmers markets.

Maui Bees Farm is just completing a second farm dwelling to expand its housing. Future plans are to build a commercial kitchen and food establishment which will create new markets for their value added products and serve the community with all natural prepared food.

Applicants need to be flexible and love to work.  Farm owners are omnivores so vegans or vegetarians need not apply.

A typical day at Maui Bees starts at 6:00 A.M. with milking and barn chores and is followed by breakfast and the daily farm meeting. Work may include maintenance, mowing, weeding, planting, watering as well as animal husbandry. There may also be kitchen work creating value added products or taking turns creating the daily kitchen lunch that is provided for all the staff. Twice a year in May and November all staff pitches in to help with honey extraction which lasts about 2 weeks.

There is much to learn and many ways an individual can grow into being more of who they are here at the farm.
