Work is progressing much more quickly on the new hoshidana. It is a good thing, since we are going to be needing the additional space. This year's 100% Kona coffee crop looks to be another award winner.
Editing is coming along also on Dave's book about Peaberry Kona Coffee. This book is aimed at kids and the art work is amazing.
We will be posting pictures of the new shed very soon! Hopefully by then the roof will be finished!

Dry Weather
Aloha All,
For it being wet season, it has been terribly dry. The trees are loaded with cherry and are stressed. This is actually a good thing. Stress on the trees at the right time makes for a better tasting coffee. Today it has gotten very cloudy so we may yet get some rain. Otherwise we will use the irrigation system. The dry weather has also made the pigs come closer to the houses. The pigs dig and make a mess. Sparkle and Ewok don't even bother the pigs. So much for having watch dogs!
