we were here for the agricultural festival we got to visit the farms and the farmers and you know they have such a passion the weapon a do and i think that's very important in life to have a passion group it's very important to them that they promote agriculture so as a farm we are promoting our culture by helping this family farm our vegetable crops and he gets to grow it for his own business also down right there is a santa catarina variety originating from south america canada which is the french speaking been around for years and essentially means mass it is fries fresh fried french fries potatoes usually roughs a potato is grown local and it's chicken gravy is the best some you know what's really exciting about this color unary experience is the fact that we have three students from the academy i'll call an area and they are tell me your name and anthony and benny and ryan you know this is the next generation i'm so excited about it because they're going to be creative they're going to come up with all kinds of incredible dishes congratulations the office is a celebration that with the comma's bring their produce  basically filling orders and everybody wants something different like mal we costco wants big yellow kona costco wants big fruit and grain whole foods are it was small fruit with yellow so every week we're planning three acres so that every week we're foreseeing three acres of plant crop and three acres of return so that we can have a whole range of sizes and colors and each pineapple is twenty five dollars each case is twenty five  it when we go through the packing shed you'll see some fruits bigger and they'll be five fruits we'll call that a five pack or an eight pack would be a pineapple but it's all around twenty five dollars pounds model now is it eighty percent of the fruit stays here twenty percent goes to the mainland and and that seems to be a more successful model so right now we have eighty employees eighty two and and so the same people that will pick fruit on monday will be packing on tuesday chasing wild ass or it's not what you're thinking it's all about my travel around the world i have interspersed photos and recipes to whet your appetite and allow you to dream and us you know and in addition to being farm to table it's we because of the brand as a luxury brand really trying to focus on bringing in the best products that we can being on an island obviously we're surrounded by beautiful pacific ocean and fish is is the main sought after protein in hawaii general but definitely there's a lot of commercial fishermen that are boat and trailer fishermen not long kitchen we also have caught a farms which is up in i think this is grilled octopus caught in local waters here surfing go cheese some group i would read a local asparagus this is a compressed watermelon snack in hawaii welcome to hollywood miley distilling company on the beautiful i mark nick berg your master distiller let's go on a tour we're making a pineapple vodka and it's one of the cleanest purest pineapple boxes in the world it's really the only one distilled  sugar east and water so the use converts the sugar to alcohol the products that we make we have three products right now that are on the shelf we have we have sammy hagar's beach bar rum that's another ten and a half story right there to go around this is the sugar i've talked so highly about give us the alcohol and i'll show you what it's doing over here this is run mash so this is the sugar yeast in water and what it's doing what you see it doing is the sugar is and easter converting to alcohol it's doing it own there's no pumps or ration devices if you feel the tank it's about eighty nine dollars degrees that does it just up the friction of the conversion to alcohol it won't aging it has to age in a hoax or some sort of wood so what we do is once this comes out this is his white room which is an age when it's done it's ready to go what we have to do now is bring it to a bottle straight which is forty percent eighty proof and we do that with mina who the water it's very very pure water it makes unbelievable product so if we were doing vodka we would use pineapple juice he said water would get our alcohol would pump it in here we'd get the same seventy percent one hundred and forty proof because that's all the stills can do but we want purity with vodka this is the stuff right here the students at the cologne or school preparing dishes for the fundraiser celebration to shift a busy preparing the next d breakfast team in the

is the best way to get to know people oh yeah and this is a great way to get to know people sitting around and food you know it's what they say is the closers or the best way to land stomachs and i think it's just perfect like a home actually really feel that your home as opposed to being in a hotel room and also the rates are very reasonable in that sense by comparing comparing it to a hotel room and i think that's the best advantage and you've got a paradise all the palm trees but garden the pool i mean what else can you ask for you have to be here yeah absolutely but i think he also the other thing is you can go shopping and you can have as if you're having a family or friends in and it's a whole different feeling than being in a hotel  it's another inconvenient but there's also
