Farm Notes

A dated record of what's happening on the land — plantings, harvests, batches, and improvements, noted as they happen. New entries are added with each real cycle on the farm.

The farm website goes live

Eco ʻAina Forest Farm's site is being prepared for launch at ecoaina.com, documenting our three production lines — fresh fruit, value-added fruit products, and nonfood botanical products — with our farm plan, product catalog, and prices. Botanical bundles, decorative bundles, and gift sets are open for orders; food products follow once our Hawaiʻi DOH path is complete.

Field photos from the orchard, plantings, and drying area will be added here with each cycle — this page is the farm's running record.

Real photos from the field

The first real photographs from the land are up on the site, replacing some of our illustration placeholders — starting with the lychee orchard, our pōhinahina (grown for smudge stick bundles), and kalo, newly established in the ground.

The plantings keep diversifying

Alongside our core production lines, the farm continues to diversify: guava, lilikoʻi, naupaka, ʻākala (Hawaiian raspberry), and avocado are all established and growing on the land, with coffee, cacao, oranges, green tea, and a small planting of short-grain rice in the works as longer-term additions.

More notes coming with the next harvest, batch, and planting — check back, or say aloha.
