Dec 2024

11 years ago , my family decided to take our inheritence buy and move to a kona coffee farm .

we named our 3 generation farm after Cassandra . We expected turmoil in the future .
We wanted to be able to midigate to coming turmoil by focussing on local Community.

there have been many sacrifices to live here , we were city dwellers before . Did you know
when you live in Hawaii there are many things you can't get shipped here ?

the loss of many modern convienence was well worth it for us .

Stay safe out there DUers
