Ash and his wife, Arianna, live in Kapa’a. They have one kid and plan to have another soon. They got some land and plan to slowly build a little house over the next few years and start a small farm. They are learning which plants grow best beside each other on the island and trying to figure how to allow the pigs to come by and do what they want but still successfully keep the plants growing.
