I had a great meeting with my friend at Miranda's Coffee Farm today. I've been planning to sell both brewed and packaged coffee at the Farmers Market and finally got an appointment today to purchase local

A few days ago I was overwhelmed by a lot of things. Since I started doing the market, I haven't had the time or energy to do much else. There was yardwork and extra watering that needed done. My laundry

I had plans today to make a couple of jams and do some baking for Saturdays Market. However when I was watering my garden today, I noticed a lot of plants were blooming and so we're the weeds. I ran back

As most of you know, I'm a very busy lady, between taking care of the homestead, making products for the farmers market and creating posts for Hive, my time is limited. If you have posts you would like

Yesterday was an amazing day. A close friend of mine held a Celebration of Life for her dearly beloved husband and best friend who passed away about a year ago. I hadn't seen her as she had a lot of healing

Not much to report today. It was cloudy and rainy all day, so I decided to make my Mango Pepper Jam with chili peppers. I was able to use my food processor to chop the peppers and mangos I didn't want

Ever have a day where everything that could go wrong did? Well that was yesterday for me. I woke up to a buzzing sound which turned out to be my solar buzzing, then bam, the breaker shut off. I went out

I got up early, drank my normal 2 cups of coffee and did my normal chores and was all ready to make 3 different kinds of jams. I pulled out the papaya out of the freezer to thaw a bit, got all my equipment

I was all ready to start making pepper jams this morning but after looking at all the fruit I had that needed to be processed, figured I best get that done first. Then I walked out to the garden and the

It was rough getting up at 5 am but once I stepped out on the deck and saw the beautiful sunrise, I perked ready up and was ready to start my day. I put on a pot of coffee and was able to take my time

Today was a buzy day again. I did some gardening, finished packing and loaded all my market stuff in the car, did some cleaning and even managed to make a trip to town to pickup some needed items and check

Another buzy buzy day. I made more spicy hummus, more Macadamia nut brownies and papaya bread with walnuts and raisens. Here is the recipe for the papaya bread. I tripled the recipe and baked in individual

As promised, here is my recipe for Macadamia Nut Brittle. I sell out of it everytime I make it which is usually holidays. Ingredients : 4 cups roasted and chopped Macadamia Nuts 2 1/2 cups Organic non

I spent most of my day making my normal breads and processing fruits so I won't bore you with the details. Today's post is all about the health benefits of Oregano. I have oregano all around the property.

Yesterday was another "chill out" day for me. I've been running around like a chicken with it's head cut off trying to get everything I needed to get back to doing the farmers market and still

I downloaded a new photo app called Mirror Lab. I was playing around with it on some photos of some cool items I purchased yesterday at a thrift store in Captain Cook called Treasure Island. Here is the

Happy Mother's Day from the Big Island Hawaii! I spent most of my day on the road. My first stop was the flea market in Ocean view. No big finds there. Got a good bargain on mangos and a few tomatoes.

After working so hard this week preparing for the market, I almost didn't go. I woke up to the sound of pouring rain. I was tempted to turn over and go back to sleep. I decided instead to make a pot of

All work and no play today. I'd much rather have been on the beach but too much to do. I had planned to make a lot more products for the market but had too much to do and very little energy or motivation.

This morning started out bright and sunny. I was all geared up for getting a lot done, so I made me a delish green smoothie to get me going. The plan was to get my plants and trees watered down early and
