"Lokelani Ranch" is 2.37 acres of land on the island of Kaua'i, Hawai'i, located just behind the Sleeping Giant near the town of Kapa'a. This land was originally purchased by my grandparents Kay and Vernon Barker in 1969. At the time there were a few houses around, but mostly it was surrounded by pineapple fields and pastures. My grandmother started calling it the "Ranch House" because of it's long, low shape and the name stuck. Now it lies within a neighborhood called Wailua Homesteads, a bit of an anomaly in it's generous lot. It is the home of Roland Barker, Lisa Parker, and our calico cat Kea.
On this site we present the ongoing story of this land and our activities on it. We start with a brief photo history then a chronological series of pages, to which we will add as the story unfolds. The links below will take you directly to each page.
