Menice, founder of Pangaia, greets the group. Pangaia folks are into eating raw foods and have over 100 species and 150 varieties of fruit trees. Also check out the Pan Gaia Web Site.

Here Menice explains some of Pangaia's raised bed gardening techniques.

Cane grass compost piles are covered so that the nutrients don't leach out in the heavy rainfall.

Macadamia nut compost is very popular in Hawaii since it is abundant and cheap - with all the Mac nut farming going on.

A unique interplanting technique.

Here is a pineapple planting with perennial peanut used as a ground cover to keep out the grasses.

Here is a fence constructed of one strand of electrical wire and Wiliwili trees. Pangaia integrates large animals into their design - horses and goats.

Menice explains that the best thing you can do to extend the life of a tarp is to place it in the shade.

Here is the kitchen at Pangaia, very attractive and functional.

Here is a nice living/meditation space.
