This pasture is so lush now. The bulls and cows have been grazing it for the past 6 months or so. When we started here, the land had stiff brown/green grass with thick dead clumps. Over time, the bulls and cows dropping manure added bacteria and worms to the soil. Their hooves stomping repeatedly aerates the dirt and breaks down large clumps of grass, allowing the healthiest roots to come in. This is the power of regenerative ruminant animal grazing.
Eyes up here!

My sweetest bulls came to say hi 💕They love to get pets, and they’re really not scary if you know how to interact with them. They’re basically big puppies.

I’m so excited about this little Jaboticaba tree I just planted. It’s a tropical fruit tree from Brazil that makes juicy berries that grow on the bark of the tree. I’ve never seen anything like it!! It’s so unique and magical. Can’t wait for this tree to take its sweet time and fruit. 🌳

I made my favorite herbal infusion today.🍃
This tea is full of vitamin and mineral rich compounds for beauty, fertility, and overall wellness ✨ It has Stinging Nettle, Red Raspberry Leaf, and Horsetail. These herbs are high in chlorophyll, amino acids, vitamins A, K, C, E, and minerals like iron, potassium, magnesium, calcium, silica, and zinc. Everyone can benefit from getting more minerals for bone and tooth health. I source my herbs from a fair-trade and organic apothecary which is so important to me! Health is wealth 🦋

Just cut down this albizia tree for my cows! They devoured all the leaves already. Albizia is a lightweight wood that grows fast and was introduced to Hawaii in certain areas specifically for cattle food. The cows eat the bark and leaves off the trees when you cut them down. It’s full of minerals and is a great supplement for them. 🌿

Oh hey! Didn’t see you there. 😏
Check out this new water catchment tank on the farm! The water drips out from the gutter straight into the tank. I love sustainable and easy to install building solutions. Also, I can’t believe it’s illegal to catch your own water in some states! 💦

Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️ want to hear some lore about the leprechauns of Hawaii? They’re called Menehune. Small humanoids who supposedly lived on the island before the native Hawaiians arrived on their canoes. 🛶 They were known for their veracious physical strength despite being of small stature, and it’s commonly known by locals that they built some of the best preserved rock walls on the islands. Their technique in building was more advanced than anything native Hawaiians do, and little is known about it. The oral history of the island told by locals is that the Menehune were befriended by natives, and showed them how to navigate the islands, then the natives turned on the Menehune and used their maps to corner them with military forces. They then took control of the Menehune and made them build rock walls. Supposedly their population dwindled to nothing, but some believe they still live in tunnels around the islands. How’s that for far out? 😂
