Support Local: Hawaii Island Small Businesses

Today, I sincerely believe, it’s more important than ever for all of us to support the locally-owned small businesses that are continuing to provide for our needs. There are so many wonderful restaurants. We all have our favorite “neighborhood” spots, and I know I want mine to remain open now and, in the future, when this is all behind us!

Celebrating Hawaii Grown Cacao at the Big Island Chocolate Festival

Hawaii Island is well known for its diverse climate zones, terrain and, of course, the warm aloha shared throughout the islands. Perhaps a bit lesser known is the fact that the state of Hawaii produces the only commercially grown vanilla, cinnamon, coffee — and yes, cacao — in the nation!
