Introducing Ka‘u Coffee Mill

January 23, 2012 Richard Ha

We went to the grand opening of the Ka‘u Coffee Mill, an Ed Olson project. As Senator Gil Kahele said – and we agree – Ed is a good guy!

John Cross, a good friend of June’s and mine since plantation days, is Project Manager. He’s a good guy, too.

Ha Ha Ha!

Ha Ha Ha! is the blog of Richard Ha, president of the 600-acre Hamakua Springs Country Farms. He named the blog, live since 2006, after the three generations of his family who work at the farm. Hamakua Springs Country Farms is located in Pepe‘ ekeo on the Big Island of Hawai‘i’s Hamakua coast.

He is interested in the nexus of agriculture and energy, and finding solutions to the Big Island’s rising energy costs in a way that helps the “rubbah slippah folks” and everyone else.

It won’t be the biggest and the strongest who do best in these challenging times of rising prices, Richard says, but those who adapt to change. There are solutions that mean our children and grandchildren will not only be able to afford to stay in Hawai’i nei, but thrive. He blogs about how we can work together to make those changes happen.
