Kona Coffee Farm: WWOOF Diary #3
Now that the last layer of dirt has been washed off and the smelly, grass-stained clothes are in the rag pile, it’s time to recap our 3rd WWOOF experience in Hawaii!
This was our very own ”B&B” for “Barn & Breakfast”
Once our own breakfast was finished, it was our job to head down the driveway to the Mango Sunset B&B. There we did the breakfast dishes and made sure the rooms gleamed. Fresh flowers for the guest rooms added a nice touch…
Brilliant Coffee Beans brighten the landscape as well…
Then the real farm work would begin, whether it was weed whacking, spreading fertilizer, or picking coffee cherries…there was always a job to be done!
- Driving the Gator!
- Mushing Mango!
- Building Hasso a House!
- Picking the Beans!
- Spreading the Cherries to Dry
- Somebody’s Gonna Get Wet!
- Two Beans Per Cherry
- Tasting the Good Stuff!
- Tending the Garden
- Sorting Coffee Cherry
Working as a “farm intern” at Lyman Kona Coffee Farm taught us a great deal about what it takes to make a quality cup of coffee. The perfect combination of sunshine, water, fertilizer and helping hands from the WWOOFer world!
