North Kohala Eat Locally Grown Day- Scenes from the Hawi Farmer's Market- Part 1
North Kohala Eat Locally Grown Day was on Sat, Jan 16, 2010. An initiative that came out of the North Kohala Food Forum (nkfoodforum.com), restaurant owners Joan Channon (Bamboo), Karen Rosen (Kohala Coffee Mill), Peter Pomeranze (Sushi Rock) and farmer Tom Baldwin (Uluwehi Farms) wanted to feature local, North Kohala grown food in their restaurants as a way to raise community awareness about our locally grown foods and create new connections with local farmers.
The initial idea grew to include other local restaurants, the Hawi Farmer's Market and Takata's Store.
These are scenes from the Hawi Farmer's Market on North Kohala Eat Locally Grown Day.
Participating restaurants and markets:
Bamboo, Sushi Rock, Kohala Coffee Mill, Luke's Place, Kava Kafe, Pico's, Fig's Mixed Plate, Snack Shack, Hawi Farmers Market, Takata's

Big Island Hawaii. Part 9. Kamehameha near Hawi.
December 2009. Music by: Sam Makia.
King Kamehameha Statue in Hawi.
Originally crafted in Florence in 1880 and destined for display at Honolulus Judiciary Building, the statue was lost at sea when the ship transporting it sank near the Falkland island. Years after a replica was crafted and delivered to Honolulu the original was found in a Falkland island junkyard and shipped to a site in Hawi near King Kamehamehas birthplace. Each year on King Kamehemeha Day (June 11) it is the tradition that the statue is covered in beautiful leis.
Hawi is situated to the west of the community of Kapaau. Together they comprise the most densely populated region in the district of North Kohala. Historically this part of Kohala is significant as the birthplace of Kamehameha I and the location of the Moʻokini heiau in the Kohala Historical Sites State Monument. The two communities were once busy commercial centers during the operation of the Kohala Sugar plantation. (wikipedia)

Farm Tours in North Kohala, Big Island
North Kohala has a long, deep and rich agricultural story.
In pre-contact times, Hawaiian agricultural systems fed a population of 30,000 people in North Kohala. Kalo (taro) was grown in abundance in the wetlands, such as in Pololu Valley (pictured) and ‘uala (sweetpotato) and ko (sugar cane) in a vast dryland field system to the South. During the sugar plantation era, multi-ethnic community life was rooted in sharing and bartering from individual homesteads, and gathering and hunting from the mountains, gulches and ocean—practices that are still a part of life in North Kohala.
Today, the North Kohala community is committed to revitalizing the local food system and agricultural traditions. Come meet the farmers who are growing food and perpetuating culture in our community today! We have farm tours and tastings, culinary events and farm fun for the whole family.

Kapaau, Kailua Kona & Kailua Hawaii Rainforest and Waterfall Hike
We saved and paid for our vacation before it began. The plan was to fly straight from Atlanta to Hawaii, spend the night, then get on a cruise ship for 7 days to see 4 of the islands. Deloris planned excursions at every stop including rainforest hikes with waterfall swimming, zip lining, watching a sunrise from atop a 10,000 foot crater and biking down it, a luau, surfing lessons, and a helicopter tour of one of the islands. Epic doesn't describe it all. What a great way for us to celebrate 10 years of marriage. Awesome!

ThruJimsEyes - Hawaii: Driving the high road from Kona to Waimea
This is our favorite drive on the Island of Hawai'i. Mamalahoa Highway (The Path Of The Splintered Paddle) has great historic significance in Hawaiian history. The drive from Kona to Waimea is breathtaking with it's transition from the lush hills of Kona to the wide open spaces covered in lava rock and grasses to the cool, often wet, region of Waimea (Kamuela). When you drive this road remember to ask Akua (God) to share the wonders and the beauty of the island and you shall not be disappointed.

Gems of Kohala: Kapa'au and Hawi
For more information, see tourguidehawaii.com
The dreamy mountain town of Hawi is one of the few remaining outposts of what locals call old Hawai'i. The center of town (and that's about all there is) is located under the ancient banyan tree. Several small shops, galleries and restaurants make this a pleasant place to visit on the way to or from Pololu Valley.
In the center of the tiny town of Kapa'au, on the mountain side of the highway, stands the storied statue of King Kamehameha the Great. Originally commissioned for the Judiciary Building in Honolulu, this statue was lost at sea while being shipped from Paris. The twist in this story is that the statue was found years later and erected on this spot in Kapa'au to commemorate the birthplace of King Kamehameha the Great.
The towns of Hawi and Kapa'au have nice shops and public restrooms are available.
Mo'okini Heiau stands at the north end of Hawai'i Island. Built in the 11th or 12th centuries by warlike Tahitians who arrived conquering, enslaving, and sacrificing the natives, it is the first temple of human sacrifice in Hawai'i and the first site in Hawai'i to be preserved as a National Historic Landmark.
Long-foretold was the coming of a warrior king who would unite all the islands into a single kingdom and who would rule wisely, piously and wield power of proportion unknown to previous Hawai'ian Ali'i.
Born nearby, Kamehameha the Great was brought to this heiau for his birth rituals.
