Hard work pays off! Our greenhouse expansion has allowed us to increase efficiency and continue improving the quality of our produce. Take a look at how gorgeous these crops are! Trellised cucumbers, purple bok choy, tatsoi, prize choy, turnips, and beets. |
You can view our current produce offerings on the newest webpage, “What We Grow”. The photo collection is updated periodically throughout the year as our crop offerings change. |
Our exclusive Cool Down lye soap bar is still available for purchase too! It’s been so popular that we're considering adding it to our regular inventory. If you’ve tried Cool Down, let us know what you think by leaving a review!
Lucy’s Corner! After 3 weeks without seeing Lucy, we grew concerned. Fearing the worst, we searched more often throughout the days between this newsletter and the last. Finally, we spotted her! Mid-day, while pruning, we saw Lucy taking a rest in the chayote. She seems a bit slimmer than last time we snapped a photo. Maybe Lucy gave birth? All of the young chameleons in the herb garden might just be evidence of it. How exciting! I’m sure we’ll have some great photos of the babies by next month!  |
Our first round of pineapples have been delicious! Organic growing methods and no spray allow us to utilize the entire plant, rind too. We also save the top to grow another pineapple! The rind can be used to make Tempache; a quick ferment that produces a super bubbly, probiotic-rich, mildly alcoholic, refreshing beverage. It’s delicious and perfect for sipping while working outside in the heat. Tempache You’ll need:
Add rind, sugar, and cinnamon to jar. Fill jar with water. Stir until sugar is fully dissolved. Screw on airlock lid (with water in the airlock chamber). Leave to ferment away from direct light for about 48 hours (72 hours MAX). Once you see small bubbles floating to the top of the jar, open it up and taste using a clean spoon. You’ll know it’s ready when it has a nice tang, fizziness, and is mildly sweet! |
Thanks for checking out the updates from August! Aloha!
