From Ranch to Table

By Catherine Cluett | Editor-In-Chief

olokai Ranch is beefing up their operation, and with more than 1000 cattle grazing on 30,000 acres of pasture, the company has started accepting orders for grassfed beef, available on Molokai and Oahu in September.

“It’s a big deal for us,” said Molokai Ranch CEO Clay Rumbaoa. “The previous Ranch operation was ‘cow/calf,’ meaning none of the cattle was finished [and] processed on Molokai, but rather shipped to the mainland to be grain finished and processed. Our model is to raise, finish, process, quality Molokai Ranch Angus beef that is 100 percent grass fed and hormonefree for consumers to enjoy.”

Molokai Ranch’s website touts that its environmentally-friendly beef, having lived on a diet of native grass, has a higher nutrition value with lower fat and higher omega-3s and minerals than the grain-fed alternative.

“Grazing across the vast hillsides, living unconfined and enjoying ideal island weather, our cattle experience a comfortable Hawaiian lifestyle,” states their website. “Locally born, pasture-raised, and finished on Molokai, our cattle remain onisland during their entire life cycle, making Molokai Ranch beef truly ranch-to-table.”

Rumbaoa said beginning in September, the Ranch will begin processing 10 head per month and double that within 18 months. All the meat will go through the local slaughterhouse, Molokai Livestock Cooperative, he said, which he hopes will allow the cooperative to hire more employees and beef up their business, too.

“Molokai Ranch has been fortunate to

A Slice of Sweet Harvest

grow our herd rather quickly, by purchasing on island cattle from other ranchers, that would otherwise be shipped to the mainland,” he said. “It is a win/win situation for all…. The goal is to produce quality meats for consumers to enjoy, keep diseases off island, create a sustainable operation, whereby all the ranchers on Molokai and the slaughterhouse works together and are successful.”

Currently running the operation with two fulltime cowboys, the cattle ranching effort is also supported by other Molokai field personnel, as well as friends and `ohana who help during round-ups, according to Rumbaoa.

Molokai Ranch has also introduced a breeding program to produce Wagyu breed beef cattle. Wagyu orginated in Japan but is now sold commonly in the U.S. as Kobe beef. The meat is known for its high quality and can fetch a higher market price.

Last winter, the Ranch used artificial insemination to impregnate some of its cows with the Wagyu strain, with the assistance of specialists from University of Hawaii’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources. While the Wagyu isn’t ready yet, the Ranch plans for it to be on the menu in the next few years.

“As Molokai Ranch grows, we want to educate and cultivate the quality of our product, because of the pristine Molokai environment and the humane practices we’ve implemented,” said Rumbaoa, via email. “We have used our partnership with the UH College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources to assist with improving our breed quality and held several livestock classes for all Molokai residents to attend.”

he summer sun beats down on the Davis family watermelon stand on Kamehameha Highway

by Rawlins’ Chevron gas station every Saturday. With a pickup truck pilled sky-high with about 500 fresh, colossal, 20-pound watermelons ripened to perfection in Ho`olehua’s heat, Jared Davis sells his all-natural watermelons at his roadside stand in the summertime on Molokai.

For Davis, a third generation famer who is keeping farming alive in his family and on Molokai, watermelons are a vital crop and livelihood for his ohana, he said.

“When I was younger there were a lot of farmers around here that planted watermelon,” Davis said. “All my neighbors, all the old timers, but a lot of them aren’t around anymore because they’ve passed away.”

David took up the family trade two years ago. His uncle and grandfather farmed watermelon, and now Davis said he is among the few Molokai watermelon farmers left.

This time of year, the family-run, three-acre watermelon farm on homestead land in Ho`olehua is a flurry of activity.

Davis and his family of six, plant watermelons for the summer months of May, June and July in an ongoing process throughout the season. Typically the season ends near the end of July, but Davis has planted an extra crop for August to meet demands this year.

In addition to the roadside stand, Davis sells his high-grade watermelons for 85 cents a pound to Molokai’s Friendly Market, Kalaupu`u Market and Kumu Farms. He only sells his watermelons on island.

“I try to do more than what I did the year before,” Davis said. “I take what happened last year and see how I could sell more? My theory is to plant as much watermelons as possible and as much as I can handle, and the more melons I have to sell the easier it is for me to market.”

From Farm To Food Dessert The journey a watermelon takes from its vine on the ground to its place at the store or on a stand is a long one.

It gets picked, washed, polished and trucked -- and that’s before it’s even left the farm.

Early Saturday morning, the Davis family rises at the break of dawn and works for five to six hours picking melons and loading them into their pickup truck. To ease Saturday’s workload, the family works in sections every day on the farm for a couple of hours. As each week goes by, they store the harvested watermelons in the garage until it’s time to deliver for Saturday’s big sell.

Next, Davis goes into town and sells what he couldn’t in store -- melons with scratches or marks -- at a discounted rate.

Besides selling watermelons, the Davis’ also produce eggs. They have 150 free-range egg layers -- chickens that aren’t kept caged -- or as Davis would call them, “happy chickens,” on one acre of farmland. The hens never take a day off and lay an average 8 to 10 dozen eggs per day. His five children then pick, wash and package the eggs every week to sell with the watermelons at Friendly Market, Kalaupu`u Market and to Kumu Farms.

The keiki have been involved in the family business for four years. Davis said he wants to keep farming in the family but is ultimately teaching his children the characteristics of working hard.

“Every year it’s getting better and my kids see the results at the end of the season,” Davis said. “Every year they cannot wait. They work super hard and enjoy farming.”

Sustainability Is Key It’s important for local farmers to be sustainable, Davis said.

“It’s the only way to be profitable,” Davis said. “Nowadays it’s tough. It’s not easy being a farmer, so learning how to recycle and cut costs is crucial and important for our environment.”

Davis uses manure from his chickens to fertilize the watermelons. He feeds the chickens left-over watermelon scraps and un-marketable watermelons in an effort to recycle and be sustainable.

Additionally, the Davis farm doesn’t use poison, pesticides or chemicals, but instead sticks to natural techniques.

“It’s a circle of life,” Davis said.

“We’re trying to be sustainable without spending too much money; you only buy what you really need.”

It Takes a Village Davis said the success of their farm takes many behind-the-scenes volunteers.

Micah Buchanan of Molokai Gold Honey partners with Davis to bring his bees to aid in pollinating his watermelon flowers across the farm at the start of the season. Bees are essential to producing watermelons with a good shape and the flower must be pollinated at least five times for this to occur, Davis said.

Castle Adolpho, Davis’ neighbor “is one of the last old-timer watermelon farmers around,” Davis said. He gets a lot of knowledge from him and has helped Davis with tractor work to break the field open to plant seeds.

At the start of the year, Glenn Teves and Alton Arakaki, UH College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources extension agents, help Davis test his soil. The results tell Davis what he needs to put in the ground for a better yield and gives him an ingredient plan.

“We’re figuring it out and every year it’s getting better,” Davis said. “I wouldn’t be able to have quality fruits if it wasn’t for the help of this `ohana.”

A Buzzing Business

By Bianca Moragne | Staff Writer

T

he lure of creamy, golden honey from a local business is giving people across the islands bees on the brain.

If you haven’t heard the buzz, Molokai is home to the best honey in Hawaii—that’s according to judges at the 2013 Hawaiian Natural Honey Challenge.

Molokai Gold, a year-old honey company run by beekeepers Micah Buchanan and Marshall Joy, is whipping up raw, unfiltered and natural honey.

“It was my honor and privilege to receive your beautiful honeys and prepare them for the Formal Judging and Public Tasting,” registrar of the Honey Challenge Pattie Rechtman said of Molokai Gold in a letter to Joy. “I was also able to taste most of the honeys, and I share the opinion held by those who first conceived of this Challenge four years ago, that your honeys are the best in the world.”

Their claim to fame is thanks to nectar from a tree found across the island— the kiawe. It’s what makes Molokai Gold honey so special, Buchanan said.

“Our honey is special because of the kiawe flower that the honey is coming from,” Buchanan said. “One tree is like a field of flowers. You need kiawe to get great honey. That’s the key.”

ing, “YUMMY, crunchy butterscotch flavor, we LOVED THIS at my house!!!” The team won Best Solid Honey Tropical Multifloral for it’s noted “mango color, kiawe taste, fragrant smell.”

It’s the Bee’s Knees

Making Gold

The kiawe tree is what gives the honey its light gold color and sweet, signature taste, which keeps diehard customers coming back for more.

“The honey is super good and pure,” said Patricia Hammond of Molokai Soaps.

Molokai Gold only sells honey on Molokai due to high demand. Jars can be bought at Saturday Market or other events or ordered by phone. The prices range from $12 to $13 a small jar and $20 a large jar. Often, Molokai Gold sells out within weeks of harvesting a new batch.

“I wish there was a way he could make more honey quicker,” said community member Nani Kahinu. “As soon as I see his Instagram posts I buy it before it’s gone.”

Kahinu has honey delivered to her home and uses it as a remedy for colds, headaches and stomachaches.

“My family buys Molokai Gold because it’s our number one go-to for any illness we may have,” Kahinu said. “You’d be surprised what honey does for the body.

It’s a perfect at home remedy and it’s made on Molokai.”

Kahinu said she loves the taste, as well as its medicinal properties.

“We love the kiawe raw honey and its pure flavor,” Kahinu said. “We hardly use it for eating, but use it for our get-well cough syrup. Anytime we’re felling the sniffles, Molokai Gold is our go-to, hands-down.”

Hammond said the number one reason she likes Molokai Gold Honey is because it comes from Molokai.

“The best honey comes from the source, from somebody I know and somebody that’s from here,” Hammond said.

“I like the fact that [Buchanan is] Molokai born and raised and I use his honey in my soaps and other products.”

Molokai Gold’s apiary, or collection of beehives, is located on 40 acres of homestead land in Pala`au with countless fields of kiawe. The land is Buchanan’s grandfather’s, who was in the trade of growing watermelons.

In the past, Buchanan farmed strawberries, onions, lettuce and water crest, but is now dedicated to his 30 hives with hundreds of honeybees in each that he checks daily.

Neither Joy nor Buchanan were experts before they began beekeeping. Buchanan had bees on his farm and decided to pursue beekeeping to help pollinate his crops. He took to YouTube to spark his interest. After getting serious, he looked to local kupuna and farmers for guidance on beekeeping and trained with advanced beekeepers on Molokai.

Joy, who farmed and did casual beekeeping in the past, was the first person Buchanan turned to for advice on beekeeping. In July 2013, the duo teamed up to start a dozen starter hives on Buchanan’s farm and kickoff their business, Buchanan said.

Each hive box is filled with frames that bees build honeycombs onto to produce honey. The frames have a variety of functions – the middle frames are for larvae and the outer frames stores honeycombs of pollen and honey. Larger boxes, called honey boxes, are placed on top of the small box of frames for the bees to migrate into and solely produce honey. The frames are typically harvested in the summer, when they are the most filled with honey, Buchanan said.

It can take a year for the bees to produce honey that’s ready to be extracted.

When a frame is completely filled with honey, the cells of the honeycomb will be capped by the bees for storage—or sealed with a white cap made of beeswax, which must be scrapped off. To extract the honey, Joy and Buchanan first remove the capped portion from the honeycomb with a plastic scraper, so it’s isolated in a liquid form.

Once the honey is ready to be harvested, it is poured into a spinner that Buchanan or Joy crank by hand to churn the honey. Next, the honey is lightly filtered to remove any debris. Then, the honey is left to sit in a bucket for a couple of days and churned once daily. Lastly, it’s bottled and ready for sale.

Although the wait for honey is long, the reward is worthwhile.

“A lot of beekeepers fall through because of the wait to get the pay back, but for us it’s well worth it,” Buchanan said.

To order Molokai Gold honey or request bee, or beehive, removals call Micah at 349-0818. Follow Molokai Gold on Instagram @fama_man to keep up with their buzzing business.

Rave Reviews Conducted by the Big Island Beekeepers Association, the Honey Challenge last December received 132 entries from 41 beekeepers around the state. Contestants showcased their honey to be scored on color value, moisture content, appearance, aroma, texture and taste, said Rechtman.

Molokai Gold won three first-place Blue Rosette Ribbons and platinum sticker awards at the competition.

The team scored best solid honey with a total score of 42.75 out of 50 points. According to Buchanan, while most honey is more liquid form Molokai Gold is thicker in texture. The comments from the judges boasted of the honey being “Amazing, light, fruity,” having a “nice light color,” and that it “melts in the mouth.”

When it came to the honeycomb, the duo scored Best Comb Honey thanks to remarks from the judges and Rechtman stat-

Teatime in the Garden

By Simon Mendes | FoodCorps

This past school year as a FoodCorps service member at Sust`ainable Molokai, I visited weekly with Kumu Teddy Sotello’s second grade class at Maunaloa Elementary. On a typical class day, I led students outside to their small, designer 4-by-4-foot “tea garden” bed—constructed at the beginning of the year—where we’d harvest a couple of pieces of mint and lemongrass. I collected the harvest, poured over hot water, and we’d wait for tea to brew.

While waiting, we learned songs courtesy of the Banana Slug String Band.

The classes’ favorite song was “Dirt Made My Lunch,” which highlights the path from soil to plate -- fitting to sing while the tea brewed. I asked students to volunteer to trace their recently-eaten school lunch plate back to the soil. If one student had beef, for example, and they were stuck on how that could make it back to the dirt, I’d simply pry, “Well, what does a cow eat?” and the students would shout out, “Grass!” Then I’d ask, “Where does grass grow?” and the students would shout, “In the DIRT!” Problem solved!

Once the tea was ready, each student took a little cup for tasting, and wrote reflections in his or her “Tea Journal.” One memorable response came from a student who wrote: “I enjoyed the iced mamaki tea, but next time I will add 10 scoops of shooger.”

As the year progressed, I introduced other garden recipes. We made use of our over-abundance of mint by preparing a

cucumber mint salad, washed down with mint-infused lemonade. The students enjoyed the cucumber salad, which they were so willing to try because they grew and harvested the mint themselves.

They took so much ownership and pride in their tea garden that whenever other grades would come near it, they’d form a sort of chain of protection around the plants, ensuring nobody picked without the strictest permission!

In the final class of the year, we made mint chocolate chip ice cream from our garden, using our own mint, spinach (for green color), fozen bananas from the Middle School garden, soymilk, honey, lots of ice, and a few mint chocolate chips.

The students couldn’t believe something “so healthy could taste so good” and that “ice cream could be healthy!”

I have so much pride and joy in what we accomplished this year. Tea was just a start, and I think fitting for a first year.

It was a gentle but effective introduction into eating from the garden, making that initial connection. Looking ahead to the coming school year, Sust`ainable Molokai recently completed a beautiful greenhouse at Maunaloa Elementary.

The structure stands proudly in front of the school, and will be home to so many plants and garden excitement for years to come. I’m confident that the second, now third grade students will become leaders in that greenhouse. I can’t stop smiling as I imagine students rushing up the walkway at the start the day, so excited to check in on whether their little seeds have germinated just yet.

Like a Grasshopper

By Glenn I. Teves | County Extension for crops to emerge in the spring. Eggs are laid in the ground in the fall in anticiAgent, UH CTAHR

In the popular television show, “Kung Fu,” Master Po refers to his student as “Grasshopper,” a term of endearment for one who is young, has a lot to learn, and whose mind jumps around “like a grasshopper.”

We probably have more to learn from the grasshopper than he can learn from us. Few other insects have caused greater direct loss to crops worldwide than have grasshoppers. From ancient times to now, grasshoppers have caused the death through famine of millions of human beings. Damage is worse in areas with low rainfall when food is sparse.

Grasshoppers are difficult to control because they move in waves and will multiply quickly. There are more than 600 species of grasshoppers in the U.S., and over 8,000 species worldwide. The most notorious of them are the locusts, a kind of grasshopper. Young grasshoppers differ from the adults only by size and the fact that they can’t fly.

The ability to fly long distances makes grasshoppers especially destructive because they can migrate over a large area in a short time, leaving a path of destruction in their wake. Once in an area, their large back legs allow them to jump around, hence the name grass hopper. They love to eat members of the grass family including grains and corn.

Together with their wings and large legs, they can move faster than a human can walk or even run at times.

In parts of the mainland, they will live in fields adjacent to crops and wait

pation of the spring flush and crop plantings. One strategy farmers will employ is plowing fields before winter to disrupt egg laying activities.

In Hawaii, grasshoppers can be a year-round problem, but can be especially troublesome after a wet winter when fields are flush with growth, and fields start to dry, such as now. There have been sightings of grasshoppers in Kalae and also in Ho`olehua. Most can be very difficult to control because they’re polyphagous, or indiscriminate in their eating habits and will eat almost anything that resembles a green plant, although many species have their favorite foods.

One way grasshoppers are controlled in many parts of the world is by creating a demand for them as a food, and is an important protein source in some countries. In Mexico, they’re captured at night using lamps, and scooped up in nets. They’re prepared boiled, sundried, fried, and flavored with spices such as garlic, onions, chili peppers, dipped in lime juice, and used in soups.

In China, they’re served on skewers. In the Middle East, grasshoppers are boiled in hot water with salt similar to soybeans and peanuts, and eaten as a snack. Tempura grasshopper in dipping saucing, or fried with garlic and chili pepper water would be new options as well.

I recently received an inquiry from USDA about instances where residents were eating insects. This option is being investigated as food gets scarcer, and coming up with innovative recipes is one way of staying ahead of food trends.

Swiss Chard with Shiitake Butter Ingredients: 9 ounces Swiss chard, very thinly sliced crosswise (about 8 cups) 4 tablespoons (½ stick) unsalted butter 4 fresh shiitake mushrooms caps, sliced; ¼ inch thick 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves Directions: In a large bowl, cover the chard with cold water. Swish it around to remove all of the grit, then lift it out into a colander. Repeat if the chard is very dirty. (Don’t spin it dry— you want the water clinging to the leaves.)

Heat 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Before the butter completely melts, add the shiitakes and thyme. Season with a little salt and cook just until fragrant, about 1 minute.

Reduce the heat to low and add the chard. Cook, gently stirring occasionally, until just tender and wilted, about 4 minutes.

Raise the heat to high and cook, stirring occasionally, until the greens are very tender and almost all of the liquid has evaporated, about 3 minutes.

Add the remaining 2 tablespoons butter and cook, stirring, until the butter melts and the greens are glazed, about 3 minutes longer.

Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Reviews from Yelp.com and Tripadvisor.com Coffees of Hawaii Espresso Bar Tara M.: Had the pretzel (salt and cinnamon) that is baked to order. The milk shakes are good to go. It is a nice stop. They said the live music is only on Tuesday afternoons. A nice it pit stop on your journey.

bought bread and cookies during the day - wonderful coconut bread and the cookies were great too! Coconut, of course!The staff is full of aloha -- so nice and friendly!This really is a must do! Not only the hot bread at night, but it is a great place to grab some great food and enjoy!

store. The man at the counter was extremely friendly and offered to help my wife and I pick out some things.

We already had a good idea of what we wanted, but we still had a conversation with the employee as we shopped. Great service, friendly people, good selection (not too many choices to make it hard), and reasonable Elsa’s Kitchen Maka’s Korner prices. If you are in need of some alcohol and some nice Kanani A.: My friends and I came here for lunch on Gerald F.: All meals created with care. I opted for the cheeses on Molokai, this is the place to be. our first day in Molokai. The food was great, I ordered teriyaki pork my husband got the Mahi Mahi. Plenty the Chicken Katsu Curry which came with rice and a enough for the reasonable price. Nice outdoor seating Outpost Natural Foods tossed salad. My friend ordered the Pork Adobo which too… If you want fresh, healthy and inexpensive, go Macznelson: Absolutely delicious and refreshing! was also great. The only thing we didn't like about this to Maka's Korner.

Sorry we did not get there sooner on our trip -- great place was being attacked by giant flies the whole time. grocery shopping as well.

Molokai Burger Kamoi Snack n Go Debbie N.: Really good burger, tasted like they were Paddlers Inn ElementTent: The staff here is almost too helpful. in the olden days before fast food took over.

Bennie Ann K.: I ordered my special "Sampler We figured about three flavors to pick from, than Platter" it was the best as usual! This time my hubby the staff had us taste about three more and that just Molokai Drive Inn ordered their Paniolo Special which came with Sucadded to our delay. There is a flavor here for anyone, Jim A.: A reasonable assortment of menu items. I culent Baby Back Ribs, Rice with Red Beans which we no matter what. Worth a stop in the afternoon or genuinely enjoyed the pulled pork sandwich. swear tasted like grandule rice, Corn on the Cob and after supper. The staff was really helpful and all the ice Garden Salad. cream tasted fresh and smooth.

Molokai Wines and Spirits Patrick G.: This place has a surprisingly large selection The service was excellent our waitresses that waited on Kanemitsu Bakery of wine, liquor, and beer. There are three aisles of us were Patty and Elizabeth yes, I named both of them Rhonda b.: One of the best finds on Molokai!The hot alcohol and another section with cheese and crackers. because they both checked on us throughout dinner. bread at 9 pm is the best and I love the adventure!We I was very impressed when I walked in to this wine They were both very personable and yet professional at

the same time. I love the atmosphere while we were there, even if it was pouring rain on the outside it was sunshine on the inside. This is my favorite spot when traveling to Molokai to eat!

Pizza Café Rey D.: Great food. We had seafood pizza and breakfast pizza for the first time and they were so good. My son said "the best pizza ever"! Gotta go back to try other ones!

Store House TZ E.: Quaint little cafe at the end of the main road in downtown Kaunakakai. Great sandwiches, smoothies, and everyone's favorite - the tropical fruit bowl (blended fruit and ice-cream with granola, banana, and honey on top).This place is clean and well decorated (a rarity on Molokai). Run by a local family (a group of sisters), they're all friendly and smiling every time you enter.You can tell that they take pride in their business.

Tikis Coffee Shack Ravay S.: Lovely ambience and great service. We stopped in for a quick coffee but will definitely be back to sample some of the panini sandwiches and bubble drinks!
