Happy Aloha Friday everyone!

If you haven’t already, check out our MidWeek Kauai stories about kids cooking after school in Kapaa, and daikon at One Song Farm.

Speaking of One Song Farm, this week will be the last time you can buy their produce. They are closing their market garden, and moving to a new location, where they will be focusing on seed saving and garden workshops. Stop by the Kapaa farmers market this Wednesday and share your aloha.

Thanks to Dan, I’m quite enamored with the new look of the site. I hope you enjoy the inviting look that the banners and logo offer. It makes my mouth water just looking up at his shot of the Plantation Gardens’ lilikoi cheesecake!

Foodista
I’ve got a lot of Tasting Kauai news to reveal, and a reminder. This Sunday we’ll be featured as the blog of the day on Foodista. “Your blog post for making Kalua pork is absolutely amazing,” Alisa Escanlar wrote in an email, “and it will be featured on the Foodista homepage for 24 hours.” We’re all about spreading the seeds of aloha, and we hope this inspires folks to visit our site, and by extension, our local businesses.

This week’s news foodies can use and events no self-respecting food lover should miss.NEWS

Garden Island Range & Food Festival
I’m happy to announce that last Tuesday, Dan and I were added to the Garden Island Range & Food Festival committee. This fall event showcases Kauai’s bounty by paring local ranchers and farmers with Kauai’s top chefs, and serving the public delicious meals while live music plays.

Last year’s participants included Nanea, 22 North, Oasis on the Beach, Living Foods, Bar Acuda, The Right Slice, Red Salt, Hukilau Lanai, and Kalaheo Cafe. (click name for MidWeek links).

This year, the event is scheduled for November 18, so if you’re a resident it’s a great opportunity to sample food from some of the island’s best food growers and makers. If you are considering a Thanksgiving vacation, this is a family friendly event to include during your stay. Continue Reading →

Kauai Pau Hana for March 23

Happy Aloha Friday everyone! I’m happy to say that all the farmers markets have recovered from the rain that pounded Kauai earlier this month. The markets aren’t as abundant as they usually are because most farmers watched their entire gardens wash away. It will be another three to four weeks before things are back to normal, but in the mean time, I hope you can support them by shopping at their markets before you hit the grocery store. You can read our article in this week’s MidWeek Kauai, where the farmers share how the storm affected their gardens.

I like to add links to articles we’ve done, or websites for the businesses that are listed. In some cases people only have a Facebook page, so I’ll link to that. That way, if you are interested in something, you can learn more about it. For some reason, every time I type the word “Kauai”, WordPress links it to our Farmers Market page. While we are trying to figure out why, don’t click on the link. (Post script: Dan fixed it!) Continue Reading →
