🌿 Introduction
It has been a while since I last posted a video or update, and I attribute this to my lack of motivation and laziness. Storing and managing GoPro footage has been a challenge, both on my computer and the memory card itself. However, I wanted to take some time to create a quick vlog to share my experiences on this coffee and mac nut farm located on the west side of the Big Island of Kona.
🌿 The Farming Experience
Being on this farm has been an intriguing experience. While it's not currently harvest season for both coffee plants and mac nuts, there are still maintenance tasks that need to be done. I have been learning the process of caring for coffee plants, ensuring they receive proper treatment and organic pesticides that are safe for pollinators. With a backpack sprayer, I go around spraying the leaves, although I admit my spraying technique could use some improvement.
🌿 Challenges and Motivation
One of the challenges I faced was the sudden death of my Fairphone 3 due to water damage. It was heartbreaking, but I plan to salvage whatever I can from the phone. I am currently using a lower-end Samsung phone as a replacement. Dealing with technology setbacks can be demotivating, but I am determined to work through the video footage I have collected over the past couple of months.
🌿 Harvesting Mac Nuts
While mac nut harvesting is not in full swing, we still gather the nuts that fall from the trees. It's a task that requires attention and care. The process of collecting and preparing mac nuts is fascinating, and I look forward to experiencing the full harvest season.
🌿 Caring for Coffee Plants
Coffee plants require constant attention and care, even during non-harvest seasons. From maintaining the right soil moisture to protecting the plants from pests and diseases, the process of nurturing coffee plants is a fascinating one. I continue to learn and improve my skills in this regard.
🌿 The Beauty of Sunsets
One of the perks of being in this area is witnessing breathtaking sunsets. Each evening, I make it a point to walk up to the road and capture the magnificent hues as the sun dips below the horizon. The video footage I have captured truly captures the magic of these sunsets.
🌿 Exploring the Island
While I have yet to explore other parts of the island, I am excited to spend more time in this area. The proximity to the beach and the availability of public transportation make it an ideal location. There are so many hidden gems waiting to be discovered, and I am eager to venture out and explore.
🌿 Using Public Transportation
The bus service near the farm provides convenient access to various parts of the island. Although I haven't tried flagging down a bus yet, the bus stop is within an hour's walk. However, it's important to note that in this area, you can actually flag down a bus on the side of the road, although it ultimately depends on the driver's discretion.
🌿 Dealing with Rain and Mosquitoes
Due to its location, this area experiences frequent rainfall, which creates a lush and green environment. However, it also means dealing with mosquitoes. Mosquito repellent and appropriate clothing are essential to avoid being bitten. Despite the rain and the insects, the beauty of this place makes it all worthwhile.
🌿 Conclusion
In conclusion, my journey on this coffee and mac nut farm has been a mix of challenges and rewards. From learning about coffee plant care to witnessing stunning sunsets, every experience has enriched my time here. I am excited to continue exploring the island and sharing my adventures through videos. Stay tuned for more updates!
