I guess I should take the time to introduce myself now. I am a true blue local girl who was raised in Kane`ohe. My husband and I own our home in S. Kona where we live during the week and spend most weekends in Hawaiian acres which is land my mom bought when we were young and struggled with the payments. We have since bought that three acres and built a farm shack until we can afford to build a real house there. We are pumping in as much fruit trees, herbs, and medicinal plants. I have two wonderful and kolohe boys one is 18 and the other is 9. We are native hawaiians and my field of interest is Ethnobotany which is the native uses of plants for weaving, kapa, food and hawaiian medicine.
I strongly believe in respect for the Hawaiian culture so my posts reflect that.
My husband is a roofer and therefore, works in Kona for the most part so we are planning to retire in Puna when all our fruit trees are bearing and the medicinal plants are usable. We have particular interest in the cultivation and growing `awa.
