Ok, first I need to get this straight- I keep hearing the rainy season in Holualoa is now- the summer- something about it being wetter up here when it's hot in town. So then, when is the "drier" season then? Which months are considered wet and which less so? I grew up in Kailua, Oahu so I'm confused.

Anyway, I'm new to this area and this land and I would love to know the first invasive trees and plants you would get rid of and the first trees and plants you would plant in their place. We are at 2200ft elevation. Mahalo 🌺🙏🏽

Aloha! My husband and I just bought a 5 acre property and I know we have a ton to learn. It's I would say it's a little over half wild, part house, grass and other small structures/fencing for animals (no animals there yet) and maybe a third of it is fruit trees (40-50) about 15 of them are in rows and the rest scattered through out, to give you an idea. The previous owner told us she paid about $500/month to ::help:: maintain it. We have that factored into the budget, so it's no problem. I am wondering what this work might include or what would be the most helpful to ask for help with? On top of this, what will we find ourselves working on most? Yes, yes, we are new, I have only ever owned 10-12 fruit trees and dogs and cats- no chickens on goats yet....but, interested!

My husband and I are moving to a small 5 acre farm in Holualoa. It's where we will be living and zoned for agriculture. We are interested in giving small private farm tour experiences which may include learning about honey bees, picking fruit, making macadamia nut milk and we also want to provide yoga/meditation/sound baths as part of the experience, as we are musicians. Would we need a permit for this? Not thinking of advertising outright, but more so by word of mouth and making friendly connections with people and allowing it to flow organically. Any thoughts appreciated!
