If its Wednesday, its....

The day the cruise ship comes in. Today is a beautiful day. The Kona winds have been keeping the vog away.
Ewok and Sparkle were disappointed they didn't get to ride into town with Trudy. She is on her way to pick up some visitors for a tour. They will have an awesome view of their ship from the farm.

Welcome To Our Blog

Aloha,
Welcome to the blog for Heavenly Hawaiian Farm and The Other Farm. We are located in Holualoa on the Big Island of Hawaii. We are David and Trudy Bateman. We moved to Hawaii in 2005 from Olympia, Washington. Dave is a retired Colonol from the US Air Force Reserves, and also a lawyer and real estate agent. Trudy is a retired ER Nurse. We live on the farm with our two dogs, Sparkle and Ewok. Sparkle is Ewok's mom and they were part of the package when we purchased the farm.
Harvest season is now over. The work isn's though. Now is the time to prune and fertilize. We have had several rounds of the Kona snow. Kona snow is nickname for the flowering of the coffee trees. Seven months after the trees bloom, it will be time to start picking the coffee cherry.
