At Gingerhill Farm, you will engage with living soil through regenerative farming, gardening, and composting. Walk barefoot on fertile earth, grow and harvest fresh produce, and take part in soil-enriching practices.
Participating in this experience of interacting with living soil invigorates your body and enhances vitality while strengthening immunity through a deeper connection with nature.
You can incorporate learnings by growing your food, walking barefoot on natural ground, and prioritizing eating fresh to support your energy and overall wellbeing.
Gingerhill Farm Retreat is a regenerative eco-retreat committed to sustainability, clean food, and holistic wellbeing. Guests immerse themselves in hands-on farming, harvesting fresh produce, and crafting nutrient-rich meals, complemented by yoga, meditation, and outdoor fitness. The retreat cultivates a deep connection to the land, natural cycles, and sustainable living—nurturing both body and planet.
Founded by renowned Japanese artist and activist Mayumi Oda, Gingerhill was created as a sanctuary for mindful living and environmental stewardship. Nestled in South Kona’s Greenbelt, this five-acre haven has been transformed from overgrown land into flourishing gardens, orchards, and organic terraces. Now led by her son, Zachary, and his wife, Iris, the farm continues its mission of sustainability and self-sufficiency.
More than a retreat, Gingerhill is a living classroom—offering an immersive experience in regenerative practices, natural rhythms, and holistic self-care, inspiring visitors to integrate these principles into daily life.
