On Hawaii’s Big Island, a single mother’s dream of a flourishing coffee farm has curdled into a desperate fight for survival. She poured her life savings into a piece of land that is now actively working against her, threatening to bankrupt her family and destroy their hopes for a self-sufficient future. The paradise she envisioned has revealed itself to be an untamable wilderness.
The homestead is besieged on two fronts. Marauding packs of wild hogs relentlessly tear through the property, destroying everything in their path, while a suffocating wall of invasive bamboo spreads with alarming speed, strangling the very life from her precious coffee plants. With her farm on the brink of ruin, the Raneys arrive as her last hope to beat back nature’s assault and rescue her dream from collapse.
Homestead Rescue airs Tuesday October 21, at 8/7c on Discovery.
