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 →

Rambutan Season on Kauai is Wrapping Up

Wintertime in Kauai is playful, lush and wet. Thousands of humpback whales migrate to the coast.

And it rains.

A lot. Continue Reading →

You Say Annatto, I Say Achiote

Writing about Kauai`s farmers every week for MidWeek Kauai, and providing video, text and photos for the Kauai County Farm Bureau‘s Kauai Grown campaign, has us visiting up to three farms every week. I enjoy it enormously because it allows me to form relationships with those who grow my food, plus I get to discover new things.

Several weeks ago, we went to Ono Organics, an organic farm in Moloaa run by farmer Ken Lindsey. Continue Reading →

The Garden Cafe at Common Ground in Kilauea, is one of my favorite places to eat breakfast or lunch. It’s the only farm to table restaurant on Kauai that literally cooks from farm to table. Right there, just 40 paces from the outside dining area, is a 1600 square-foot garden. The healthy menu is loaded with local and organic fruit, vegetables, grains, as well as island beef, pork and fish. Continue Reading →
