E Komo Mai and Aloha!
Puna is a wonder to be sure. Financial issues are a major hurdle so plan carefully. Once that is handled, the sky is the limit for opportunity. We have chosen a rural setting after a lifetime of suburbs. The difference is amazing. I never knew the joy of a farm fresh egg... now I have 40 or so hens. Fresh Lamb is so much better... yes we raise those too. We have a fruit orchard, I learned to drive a tractor, have the joy of luxuriating in the rain or sun at will.... (it's always one or the other somewhere). Just remember, you can't come here and "fix it" to "make it better the way we used to back home". Embrace Hawaii in its entirety, good and bad, charming and aggravating. It is what you fell in love with after all.
Good luck.

I want to be the kind of woman that, when my feet
hit the floor each morning, the devil says
"Oh Crap, She's up!"
