Farm Journal
Follow one Hawaiʻi Island lava lot as it becomes a layered tropical food forest.
The orchard, documented honestly
This journal separates what is planted today from what is planned for tomorrow. Dates, photos, harvest notes, setbacks, and lessons will be added as the farm develops.

Roots in red cinder
Paradise Roots Hawaii entered its first documented establishment phase. Young fruit trees, multiple banana varieties, pineapple, herbs, roots, tea plants, and tropical landscaping were organized across red cinder using mulch and lava-rock planting circles.
- ParadiseRootsHawaii.com secured and the prelaunch website build began.
- A diversified crop inventory and planned product catalog were documented.
- Real progress photos were added to the farm Gallery.
- Orchard, privacy planting, and future greenhouse concepts were separated from current conditions and labeled as future vision.
- Business setup continues while the LLC’s EIN, Hawaiʻi GET registration, payment account, and operating rules are finalized.
What comes next

Planning note: Future dates are goals, not harvest or product guarantees. Weather, crop health, permits, food-safety requirements, and responsible growth will determine the actual schedule.
