VENTURES In a few years, once some of the landscape is in place and more plants are flourishing, there will be no public access except for an occasional guided tour, (free admission will be offered to veterans either retired or mobility impaired). With such abundance of raw material and brainpower, there will likely be delicious development with quantities limited to distribution among shareholders and contributors. Rather than make promises that would impose deadlines, rewards are in store for those with faith and patience.

COFFEE There are at least a thousand coffee plants, however all but a few have not been tended to for many years, so they need to be pruned back so they can branch out better for future seasons… CHOCOLATE We hope to enhance the stature of Hawaiian grown cacao. Processing is a complex challenge. It will take a few years before we have a supply of nibs. Whether or not we elaborate our own product, we will work together with other local entities to make things even better. SPIRITS While there is still yet much research to do on a home hobby level, here are three basic distillations; Okolehao, AKA Hawaiian moonshine, made from roasted Ti root; Baijiu, made from sorghum; and Shochu, made from sweet potatoes or brown sugar. Perhaps these could be aged in barrels made from mango or macadamia wood. There is also abundant sugarcane for rum.

PIGS Whatever edible you plant, the pigs will get to it unless you plan ahead. Rather than just fence them out, the crops will be bait in a trapping system. Sorghum is a pig magnet. Those caught would be distributed among neighbors who agree to feed them until they are ready to process humanely after a final meal with alcohol spiked fruit so they are so buzzed they won’t feel a thing. Cured salami is just one possibility…
