There’s work to do that’s for sure

We can show you how, just stay tuned for when we release the course

Currently living on the Big Island but I LOVE Kauai, want to trade places?😂. Thanks for watching.

Thanks. We’re closer to the 2018 lava flow than the Maui fire, but because if that flow we feel for the people even more on Maui.

I have an ebook and it makes pretty good money for me. You probably have things I can learn from you, be sure to look me up if you ever make it out this way

Mahalo. Glad you think so!

I hope you can make it happen. I feel like it just happened for me

Thanks for watching

I grew up in Santa Monica! That must be why we think alike.

Thanks

True that

That’s why I wanted throw out a fundraiser for the animals, because those poor guys always get overlooked, and it’s our fault they’re in that spot in the first place

Aloha!

It does

You got me. I’ve just never really been that interested in the uk, but since your comment I learned a lot. Wales is not in England.

@@HomesteadinHawaii - good on you for looking it up - the Welsh have their own Celtic language too although many only speak English!

Am I in trouble?

@@HomesteadinHawaii not at all.

@@HomesteadinHawaii what's the best way to contact you

I'm not sure. I don't want to put my info on a open post

That’s why I preface it saying you better be good at marketing and Branding

@@HomesteadinHawaii That won’t even do it. You want to make money in cacao you need to do agritourism. Otherwise, you’ll make less than minimum wage with your crop. There’s a reason why cacao is done with slave labor.

@@Tom-fz6pe so your saying not even the local chocolate bar companies sprouting up aren’t able to turn a profit? Hamakua chocolate farm? Puna chocolate company? They seem to be be making money thru diversified operations. Money as a straight cacao grower, no way. Your right on that.

@@marymalko5105 That’s a chocolate company, not a cacao grower. Very different. Even then, the small orchards that do make their own bar are barely breaking even. Have spoken to many; I’d love to grow it but the return on the investment is terrible. The biggest issue with cacao is the constant labor involved in picking, drying, and fermenting. Then you have to sell the seed or make a bar and then sell it. There’s also the care of the orchard which is time consuming. Hawaii also has the highest priced seed in the market and it’s still not worth it, unfortunately. If you add tourism to your operations then you’ll make some money, but it can’t exceed what the cacao farming makes which is a real hinderance.
