Farm Tours in North Kohala, Big Island
North Kohala has a long, deep and rich agricultural story.
In pre-contact times, Hawaiian agricultural systems fed a population of 30,000 people in North Kohala. Kalo (taro) was grown in abundance in the wetlands, such as in Pololu Valley (pictured) and ‘uala (sweetpotato) and ko (sugar cane) in a vast dryland field system to the South. During the sugar plantation era, multi-ethnic community life was rooted in sharing and bartering from individual homesteads, and gathering and hunting from the mountains, gulches and ocean—practices that are still a part of life in North Kohala.
Today, the North Kohala community is committed to revitalizing the local food system and agricultural traditions. Come meet the farmers who are growing food and perpetuating culture in our community today! We have farm tours and tastings, culinary events and farm fun for the whole family.
North Kohala Eat Locally Grown Day- Scenes from the Hawi Farmer's Market- Part 1
North Kohala Eat Locally Grown Day was on Sat, Jan 16, 2010. An initiative that came out of the North Kohala Food Forum (nkfoodforum.com), restaurant owners Joan Channon (Bamboo), Karen Rosen (Kohala Coffee Mill), Peter Pomeranze (Sushi Rock) and farmer Tom Baldwin (Uluwehi Farms) wanted to feature local, North Kohala grown food in their restaurants as a way to raise community awareness about our locally grown foods and create new connections with local farmers.
The initial idea grew to include other local restaurants, the Hawi Farmer's Market and Takata's Store.
These are scenes from the Hawi Farmer's Market on North Kohala Eat Locally Grown Day.
Participating restaurants and markets:
Bamboo, Sushi Rock, Kohala Coffee Mill, Luke's Place, Kava Kafe, Pico's, Fig's Mixed Plate, Snack Shack, Hawi Farmers Market, Takata's

Big Island Hawaii. Part 23. Hilo Town.
December 2009. Music by Les Baxter.
HILO:
Hilo is a coastal town in the State of Hawaiʻi. It is the largest settlement on the island of Hawaiʻi, and the second largest settlement in the state. The population was 40,759 at the 2000 census.
Hilo is the county seat of Hawaiʻi County, Hawaiʻi, and is situated in the South Hilo District. The town overlooks Hilo Bay, and is near two shield volcanoes, Mauna Loa, considered active, and Mauna Kea, a dormant volcano upon which some of the best ground-based astronomical observatories are placed.

NCL PRIDE OF AMERICA:
For much of its early (pre-commissioning) history, Pride of America was known as Project America 1; the first of a pair of 70,000-ton cruise ships to be built at the Litton-Ingalls shipyard in Mississippi with heavy federal subsidies. Project America was intended as a means of improving the competitiveness of American shipyards in performing commercial (non-military) construction, as well as creating the first American-registered passenger ships of any real size in decades. The Project America program collapsed in 2001, when American Classic Voyages Inc., the company that was to operate the ships under its United States Lines division, filed for bankruptcy.
Norwegian Cruise Line Ltd. acquired the partially-finished ship, and had her towed to Germany for completion as Pride of America for their newly-launched NCL America division. In the process, the ship was lengthened considerably, from 850 ft. to 920, growing from 72,000 gross tons to more than 80,000. Under NCL America, the ship was initially slated for completion in 2004, but the delivery date was pushed back to 2005 after a major storm hit the Lloyd Werft shipyard and caused considerable damage to the vessel, partially sinking her at its berth. A special exemption on the part of the US Government allowed the largely foreign-built ship to attain US registry.
After the transfer of Pride of Aloha and Pride of Hawaii, she is currently the only American registered major cruise ship serving the Hawaiian market from Honolulu. (wikipedia)

ThruJimsEyes - Hawaii: Driving the high road from Kona to Waimea
This is our favorite drive on the Island of Hawai'i. Mamalahoa Highway (The Path Of The Splintered Paddle) has great historic significance in Hawaiian history. The drive from Kona to Waimea is breathtaking with it's transition from the lush hills of Kona to the wide open spaces covered in lava rock and grasses to the cool, often wet, region of Waimea (Kamuela). When you drive this road remember to ask Akua (God) to share the wonders and the beauty of the island and you shall not be disappointed.

With comfortable year round weather, some of the most unique beaches in Hawaii, and wide open spaces, Big Island living offers a little something for everyone. Perhaps this is why so many people have chosen to make the Big Island of Hawaii their living destination.
However, perhaps the most appealing aspect of Big Island living is the price of real estate. No other place in Hawaii allows for the same price range as the Hawaii does. When you are viewing single-family homes, townhouses and condo on the Big Island you feel like you are looking at properties on the mainland. This is because the prices for real estate properties on the Island are the most affordable in the state of Hawaii.
While it may feel like mainland prices, it definitely isn’t mainland living. You get the full feel of island living on the Big Island of Hawaii. Luscious and tropical greenery and amazing Pacific Ocean surf await you in this island paradise with mainland prices.
The island of Hawaii has perhaps some of the most recognizable and unique destinations in the world. From the hikes and valleys to the black sand beaches, Big Island living is second to none when it comes to adventure and family friendly living. With good schools, great communities and a laid back way of life, the Big Island is an ideal place to hang your hat and call home.
One of the most well known attractions/destinations on the Big Island is Volcano National Park. Home to an always erupting volcano, it is definitely a must see if you chose to call the Big Island your home. The park is majestic and massive, and you can view some of the most amazing lava rock and lava rock formations around. Not only that, but hiking the area is also an attractive thought. A definite must experience.
The Big Island of Hawaii is bigger than all of the other islands combined. With plenty of laid out and open space, the Big Island offers a number of wonderful natural attractions and pieces of real estate. The island is continually growing, both population wise and land mass wise, and it has become one of the more popular destinations for people moving to Hawaii.
