Mele Nahiku
Hana, Hawaii,
United States
Mele Nahiku ohana 2009
 We are a small farm family committed to living simply off the land. We are devoted to each other as a family, nurturing and supporting one another on our spiritual, mental, and emotional paths.
We live on 3.5 acres of Hawaiian jungle. We enjoy raising animals and growing our own food organically. We share most of our time together and are committed to being on the land. We are very rural and enjoy being so. We live off the grid with the sun and wind providing our electricity. We have a rain catchment system.
Our name, Mele Nahiku, means “Mele” or “song,” and “Nahiku,”is where we live and means “the sevens” (a sacred lucky number to the Hawaiian people). We are the Song of Nahiku.
  Status: focusing on nuclear family and personal growth
