Aloha!

I have been developing a working homestead for the past ten years in Hawaii. The farm consists of 21 1/2 acres on Big Island. We did not come from farming backgrounds but I have always had an interest in basic family style farming. Now that I am retired, I have a chance to fillful my lifelong desire. Our farm is stil a work in progress.

I'm very much enjoying this website. There's some great info here and I'm meeting some nice people. Wonderful conversations. Wonderful ideas. Thanks!

Howdy Su, welcome to permies. I am looking forward to hearing more about your place and maybe seeing some pictures?

Hi Miles! Thanks for the welcome.

I don't know how to post an image here. I have jpg's on my computer but don't know how to get them here. But people could go the my blog where I am currently in the process of doing photos to each of my posts. Ha, I finally figured out how to post them on blogspot. I'm not the most savvy computer user, but I give it a try.

Welcome, Su Ba.
The Big Island is such a beautiful place.
I did some property scouting there this last winter. Found the perfect spot.
I really liked the North Kohala area and a little bit south of there too.
Incredible land, great soils, not too much rain, great people, views -- what more can you ask for?
I was amazed by the mequite that grows along the coast there -- a local told me it came over when folks brought cows -- maybe the cows brought it in there guts?
I'll be sure to check out your blog.
