Summer is here and one look at our booth will verify!
You'll know it's summertime in Puna Makai when you see the Rollinias, Jakfruits, Champadeks and Soursops gracing our tables and baskets beside the summer squash and green beans.
We're just starting to have our Lilikois (Passionfruit) back in season! There'll be a herd of folks racing each other to get their fill of these tangy sweet treats before we sell out for the day.
We've seen the Mamay sapotes succumb to a change in season and make way for some of what's mentioned above. The sky seems to be raining avocados, seedlings and grafted alike. Next market we'll be showcasing our White Pineapples, well, what we don't eat first. :)
Josanna's Organic Fruitstand has been sending extra special treats with their PHO SOUP, TEA and CURRY mixes. the tea mix is fresh lemon balm, turmeric and Tulsi (Holy Basil) ~the Pho mix (traditional Vietnamese soup) includes chives, cilantro and basil ~ the Curry mix has fresh turmeric fingers, Curry leaves and berries, lemongrass and other fresh herbs. People continue to enjoy the new and flavorful mixes, as well they should!
We're constantly learning new ways to provide for our farmers and communities alike. Our prices change depending on the availability of produce and the work involved in the harvest. We try to compromise with our customers by selling portions of our larger items, like our monster 10 lb squash or 30 lb jakfruits. Seeing these big beautiful offerings is some of the best advertising we could hope for!
The Koa'e Farmers' Collective is considering expanding our booth because our offerings are beginning to overwhelm the 4-tier booth!
Ah, abundance.
