As the former Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) manager for the Kauai Farm Connection (KFC), I can tell you this organic farm in Kilauea grows good food. We’re happy to announce that Art Cafe Hemingway is now using their fruit and vegetables, which can be found on the gourmet European brunch menu.

If you like weekly boxes of farm-fresh, organic produce, join KFC for a new CSA season beginning October 1. If you prefer, sign up for customized weekly boxes. Deliveries are made to Papaya’s Natural Foods and Cafe in  Kapaa, or you can pickup at the farm In Kilauea. Continue Reading →

“I have a garden cart in front of my permaculture estate at 6200 Helena Lane, Kapaa, in Kapahai,” says Jai Roberts. “We sell bananas, green beans, greens of all sorts, turmeric and avocados. Everything is grown using organic practices with aged compost. I am passionate about growing food and sharing it with my community.”

Jai created Honua Lani Gardens as a model of sustainable tropical living. The property is on five-acres of botanical grounds with ponds, tropical flowers, sustainable vegetable gardens and a fruit tree orchard. Five bungalows offer a Mini-Resort experience that includes a spa featuring Lomi-Lomi massage, and a Finish style sauna for cleansing Hawaiian salt scrubs. For more information visit the Honua Lani Gardens website, or Facebook page. “I am co creator of the Kauai Sustainability forums, and we have a page for that on Facebook.  Continue Reading →

When we had to cancel our culinary tour last month, I was pretty depressed. We had an excellent foodie-fun-filled-day planned. But, thanks to my supportive husband, and the fantastic food growers and makers involved with the tour, we rescheduled it for July 13.

This time it’s on! We have met our minimum, and will be romping through Paradise on a culinary adventure come rain or shine. I’m so grateful that we gave it another try, because it’s a fantastic line up and it’s going to be a blast! We still have some spaces left, so visit our culinary tour page and reserve your spot. Executive chef Guy Higa is making allowances for those on alternative diets such as vegetarian, vegan or gluten-free. Continue Reading →

On June 21, the Real Time Farms blog wrote about a Consumer Reports article called Meat on Drugs. The report found that 86 percent of Americans want meat raised without antibiotics available in their supermarkets. And there’s good reason, the animals we eat consume more antibiotics than we do, making us susceptible to superbugs.

First Place and $20,000 went to Salty Wahini. Melissa McFerrin of the Kauai County Farm Bureau was there last night and says, “Right now they are 82.9 percent local. They can’t get things like garlic and pepper because it doesn’t grow here, but they are going to use the money to expand their operations.”
