Yeeehaw! It’s the season for luscious Kauai white pineapple! These babies are low-acid, sweet, and so tender, you can eat the core. Tim O’Connor of Olana Organic Farm says, “White pineapple is peaking right now. There’s lots of beautiful, super-sweet large fruit.”

Kauai white pineapple from Olana Organic Farm, Alana Farm, and Hole in the Mountain Farm is only available at farmers markets. Click on their links to see which markets each farm is at. North Country Farms also has white pineapple available at the Saturday Namahana market. 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 →

Hukilau Lanai

We had a chance to stop by the Hukilau Lanai for lunch, and I’m glad we did! We sat at the bar, next to the pool, with a view of the ocean, and enjoyed a ginormous meatball sub for $5.95. You can’t beat that price for well made food on Kauai! Imagine three tender meatballs nestled in chewy bread that is made in-house, and topped with a savory tomato sauce and mozzarella cheese. The lunch special changes every day. Tomorrow, starting at 11:30 they’ll have Teriyaki Burgers for $5.95. Follow the Hukilau Lanai Facebook page to keep up with specials.

Kauai Coffee Agricultural Business Plan Competition

The winners of the Kauai Coffee Agricultural Business Plan Competition were announced last night. Congratulations to the lucky recipients, we look forward to your business expanding, and tasting your delicious food!

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.”
