For nearly two decades, we have been blessed to call North Kohala home. These sacred lands at the northernmost tip of Hawai'i Island are where we've raised our three children, built our lives, and devoted ourselves to regenerative agriculture and education through our nonprofit, the Hawai'i Institute of Pacific Agriculture.

Our work here extends beyond farming—it's about cultivating connection. We empower island youth through food systems & agricultural education, train the next generation of regenerative farmers, and strengthen community resilience through land-based learning. From keiki to aspiring young farmers, we share what this land teaches us: that tending the land and nourishing our communities are inseparable.

Starseed Ranch carries a profound legacy of sustainability and intentional living. To steward these 26 acres—abundant with tropical food forests, healing herb gardens, native species, and rare plants—is both a Kuleana (responsibility) and a privilege we hold with deep reverence. This land is woven into our story: we were married here in 2011 beneath the bamboo and palm canopy, returning year after year to learn from the previous stewards, Andre and Jyoti Ulrych, who entrusted us with their vision. Their dream became ours, and now it is our honor to share this sacred space with those seeking transformation, healing, and a return to living in rhythm with Mother Nature.

Every guest who arrives becomes part of this land's legacy. We welcome you, and are honored that you chose Starseed Ranch.

Mahalo piha,

Dash & Erika Kuhr
