New Harvest

Today we cupped some of the new harvest. This part of the farm was added to Heavenly Hawaiian a few years ago. This is the first real harvest off of these trees after four years of hard work. The coffee is very, very smooth. We cannot wait to share this 100% Kona coffee with our friends and customers.
Things are still bustling at the farm. The harvest continues in full swing. Trudy has been gone for a week on a much needed vacation. Hopefully, she will bring some rain with her.
The 39th Annual Kona Coffee Cultural Festival is coming up Nov 6-15. This is always a great time for the coffee industry. We are competing in the Crown Cupping Contest this year. With how great this tasted, things look promising.

Been Hectic

Aloha,
Time is flying by. Harvest season is just around the corner. We are still short on rain but we did have a nice shower last night.
We have a wonderful house guest this week. Marge is an incredible cook and has been spoiling us everyday. Today we got to enjoy homemade biscotti with our coffee. Life cannot get much better.
Sparkle and Ewok have been indulging on too many avocadoes . Its hard to make them stick to a diet with so much temptation around. We have been walking the farm daily and they waddle along with us. We have spotted two kittens in the lower coffee field. Hopefully they will stay and keep some of the pests away.
We finally got the demucilager fixed just in time for the season. In just a few weeks we will find out how good of a job we did on the repairs.
Have a wonderful weekend!
