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.

Heavy Harvest
Wow. Things are going crazy here. The harvest is looking to be one of the biggest ever. Its a good thing we built another hoshidana. The floors are covered! The trees do look beautiful covered with the ripe cherry. Nothing beats a field full of coffee trees. Looking out at the orchards, its easy to see why Kona coffee is considered the best in the world.

The floor is in!
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!

Made In Hawaii
Aloha All,
Last week Thursday-Sunday was the Made In Hawaii event on Oahu. Vendors from around the state came to show their wares. Thousands of people flocked to this event. We had a great time meeting other vedors and sampling the wonderful items all from Hawaii.
We are picking again. This harvest looks to be awesome. The trees have really done well under Miguel and Lupe's care. We have had many tours this past week and are having a large group over tomorrow.
The new hoshidana is slowly coming together. We need to get it completed before the peak harvest comes in. The weather has been tricky. We had a hurricane scare but didnt get anything from it.
Well we better get going and process the coffee. It is a beautiful day to be working outside.

Making progress
We are slowly making progress on the new hoshidana. The floor joists have been primed and are in place. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and stay sunny for a few days so we can get the rest of the floor done.
