Aloha,

Wow July went by fast. In a few weeks we'll begin the harvest in
earnest. Still just a couple pounds of cherry in a week being picked.
We're finalizing the vertical selection and then will move back to
debris clean-up and raising the canopy.

Aloha,

On Sunday, August 3rd there is a new farmer's market opening in
Captain Cook. We will have a booth there and be serving samples of our
coffee hot and in iced coffee form. We will also have whole beans for
sale.

If your in the neighborhood please stop by for a taste and a visit.

Mahalo,

Aloha,

I just uploaded a picture of the 2008 coffee cherry that is ripening.

Aloha,

The new farmers market has been going great! We enjoy it and there are
more customers and vendors every week.

The coffee cherry is slowly ripening and I now expect the harvest will
get going around September 1st in earnest.

Aloha all,

Well we started off August kind of dry. Now the normal afternoon rain
pattern seems to be setting in. We had some 90+ degree weather the end
of last week and through Wednesday but now it has cooled off to the
mid-80s.

The coffee is starting to ripen seriously now. I expect in a week or
two at the most the harvest will be going full tilt.

Mahalo,
