Last month, Sarah Gray from Hive Mind Maui installed three beehives here at the ranch. We’re thrilled to have new pollinators in our ʻulu orchard. They will also be busy pollinating our banana and citrus groves as well. In the future we hope to have our homegrown honey for sale at the farm stand.

It is common to find homemade chili pepper water in homes all over the state, and our team loves to make their own. Especially since we grow these peppers on the farm! We posted this recipe on our Facebook page a few months ago and it was a hit. This is a “family-friendly” version that Farmer Dan likes to use, if you want to spice it up more, double the amount of peppers.
