Aloha!

We all know noni trees love the rain! We are about to receive a boat load over the next few days. 

Orders may be delayed:

With the current weather forecast, post office is currently closed as planes are not flying from the islands. There is a chance of losing power and flooding.  We thank you for your patience as we do our best to fulfill your orders. We will keep everyone updated regarding current order status and the condition of all of us here on the farm.

Hurricane Lane update:

Hurricane Lane has currently downgraded to a Category 1 storm moving at 2 mph. The storm is approximately 120 miles south of Honolulu. Hilo, and had been flooded with waist-high water. Hawaii health officials warn that Hurricane Lane has caused storm-water runoff to enter the ocean. This can pose possible health risks to swimmers and surfers.  It is not expected to hit the island of Kauai, where the noni farm is.

What is a hurricane?

Hurricanes are intense low pressure systems that form over warm ocean waters. Massive amounts of evaporated moisture rise of heated moist air are twisted high in the atmosphere. The winds begin to circle counter clockwise north of the equator or clockwise south of the equator.

Did you know? Near the Phillippines and the China Sea, hurricanes are called typhoons.

Thank you for prayers and phone calls!

Mahalo!

About the Author: Steve Frailey

My wife and I (Steve Frailey) moved to Kauai, Hawaii in 1982 from our organic farm in California. There were no roads, electricity, water or buildings but lots of Noni trees (Morinda Citrifolia) in our valley. We also developed a deep relationship with Noni that was growing all through our valley.  Today we run our Hawaiian Organic Noni farm, and share the gift of health with people throughout the world.
