Huge Mushroom Sighting!


Two weeks ago I took a photo of this mushroom. It started growing outside the barn and got about as big as a plate . No idea of its name but will report back here when I get more information

Waialeale Kava Source

Oshi Grady brings us Kava grown on his families farm in Fiji.
He is looking for land to grow more here on Kauai.

Here he inspects a plant I started from some Hawaiian variety cuttings. Kava is a pretty plant and if given a chance will really take off.

First Cacao Pods


A friend told me the other day that some of the cacao trees I had given him about 7 years ago had pods. I was a little irked as my trees hadn't, or so I thought until I went out and cleared the vines and weeds and then lo and behold there they were.

Kailani Farms


Yesterday afternoon Phil Davies himself delivered his organic greens. 
We're lucky to live about 3 miles from one of Kauai's top producers. His greens are much sought after and always sell out.
