Market day seems to get crazier and crazier. Today three of us showed up with the harvest around 7:30 , plus a local resident also arrived to donate limes and avocados. Then the feeding frenzy started. The word had definitely gotten out that the OKK tent is the place to visit as early as possible. Within one hour, 80% of our produce was gone. By 9:30 I could have gone home but I still had a few things on a table, so I stayed until everything was completely sold out by 11. Yup, 100% sold out. No leftovers to drop off at the Hub this time around.
Wayne and I are totally amazed at the success of this project so far. Wayne’s idea was to feed Ka’u, and it is happening! Thank you for your support!!
So what did we gave in the tables today?
Fruits …
Wayne’s papayas, mountain apples, longan, limes, lemons, avocados, mangos
