Costco Greenhouse & ICE CREAM - HereOnThePrimalEdge - 02-08-2024
I was in Kona Costco today.
They have a greenhouse kit, the size is maybe 8’x7’ for $1200 or $1300. It’s packed in a box that would probably fit in a pickup bed.
Thought some folks in Puna might find it useful to keep winter veggies dry while growing. Or as a guest house, depending on how you feel about your guests.

Was it the one with the wood walls?

Yes, wood walls and plastic windows and roof

I read last week that in a taste test by a major US newspaper, Kirkland Signature Super Premium Vanilla Ice Cream came in second, right after Ben & Jerry’s and ahead of many premium brands.
How can that be? Ben & Jerry’s, Häagen-Dazs cost over $7.00 a pint. Costco ice cream is a gallon (8 pints) for $14.99.
We bought a gallon, tried a bowl when we returned home - - it is that good. Goodbye overpriced pints. Hello rich, creamy and delicious Kirkland Brand. I only hope the gallons don’t lead to pounds.
Be sure to pack a good cooler and bring plenty of ice packs or buy enough ice for the long ride home.

It was my husbands favorite. No need to spend more.

I made one 2X that size for $400... and it won't rust and rot like the mainland kits ALWAYS do

I was worried that the Greenhouse advice might get you into hot water but apparently you saved it with the ice cream. Noted.
Ho' ola farms offers a fantastic greenhouse course and they also do courses, that I can't vouch for, on how to package and market your own value added products like ice cream. Thanks for the great post!
