Best of luck on your move. Do keep in mind Puna is a very tough climate to farm. Humidity levels can be very high. The crops that tend to do well will have fairly saturated markets. Not to mention the rat lungworm scare has really hurt farmers in Puna. You maybe better off with a specialty crop of some sort. Realistically you do need a fair amount of growbed space to actually farm a vegetable crop. Now you could supplement your other profession with your aquaponics farm quite nicely. i personally farm a specialty crop but wouldnt be quitting my day job anytime soon and really not trying to discourage you.
