Come out n spend some time. The romantic dream of moving to Hawaii n becoming a farmer gets squashed quickly, once you deal with the thieves,fire ants, and the rampant drug problems. Spend more than a day, meeting the neighbors on surrounding properties, this will make or break your home life. First and foremost, think about security first. Plan on building a gate as soon as you hit the island, put up cameras, and get some big dogs. I don't want to pee in your cheerios but instead educate you. Get on Facebook and become a member of "big island theives", this will give you an idea of the crime. And finally....whatever you do, don't bring over a Honda or a Toyota truck, it will get stolen.
Bugs are everywhere...you cannot control the mosquitoes in an area that gets 100" of rain. Cockroaches, centipede, slugs,fire ants, all thrive here. You can control them in an aquaponics system, but you are surrounded by 1000's of acres of land.
Oh, and one more thing...pigs are everywhere and love farm raised food. So plan on pig fencing your entire property or all you hard work will be wiped out in a single night..
