Cabbages At Twilight
Perks of the job, thanks to my hard-working man. He is interning at an organic farm nearby, and brought home all of this very large-sized cabbage. No shortage of healthy food here on the Big Island! I see lots of tasty cole slaw in our future, and will juice some of it too. Will bring at least one to share with my coworker at the library today.

Nice score! :) I've heard that groceries are very expensive on Hawaii so it's great to get some free veggies!
Groceries are expensive everywhere! Our overhead is far less than it was in Mendocino, actually. The biggest expense is fuel, which was ridiculously high on the North Coast as well. And fuel cost is the reason food is high in the islands. That's why there's a big push to grow and produce more food right here. Eating less meat also makes a difference, economically and health-wise.
The goal is to produce or trade for all of our food, and shop for as little as possible. And we're definitely on our way! Next up--chickens!
