HO'OLI HALE

Aloha to all! We are in our home for the next three months: Ho'oli Hale in South Kona. Nani and Manono are the owners and are dedicated to sustainable farming. The farm is all organic and on catchment for water. South Kona is the drier side of Hawaii, and unfortunately, the area we are in has also been in a drought for a number of years, so the grounds aren't as green as they are just a few miles up the road. Still, it is a beautiful place and the fruits and vegetables are delicious! I took a stroll around the property and took pictures to give you an idea of where we are staying, and some of the things we have to look forward to each day.

The hale. We are staying on the bottom floor. Our lanai faces the ocean.

 Amelia patrolling the grounds. They have about 15-20 Nene (geese).

 Lots of avocados!

 Sweet, wild bananas, sometimes called apple bananas.

 Lots of hens and plenty of fresh eggs!

 The figs are a recent addition to the farm, so they aren't ready for fruit yet.

Macadamia nuts ready for picking.

Mac nut shells used for mulch.

 Guavas almost ready for our smoothies.

 A labyrinth for meditation.

 Protea!

Fuzzy, purple plant.

And of course, Kona coffee!!

Peace my friends!
