It Makes Sense to Support Hawaiian Farmers

Over the past decade, thanks to pioneers in the food world such as Alice Waters, shoppers are becoming more aware of the importance of buying locally. Not only is it important to support our local farmers, our bodies are healthier as a result and our pleasure in eating and drinking is increased.

People have begun more and more to buy locally. Farmer's markets have sprung up in cities and towns across the U.S. as people realize it is better for their health and the economy to buy locally grown products.

While there are instances when buying locally is impossible, most of the time it is worth trying to find and purchase a locally, or even domestically, grown product.

Some people don't realize that they can buy coffee grown in the United States. The only place commercially sold coffee is grown is in the Kona region on the Big Island of Hawaii. Not only is this coffee grown domestically, but it is world renowned. People seek this gourmet coffee around the world. It is believed to be arguably the best tasting coffee in the world. It is grown sheltered on the slopes of active volcanoes by small family farmers.

Because of the rocky terrain the plants are grown on, the beans are hand planted and cannot be machine harvested. Each bean is handpicked. Because of this, farmers can inspect each bean and not pick it until it has achieved its full ripeness.

This is only part of the reason this coffee is so sought after.

It is refreshing to know that along with buying locally grown produce, we can also support our economy by buying coffee grown in the United States by small family farmers trying to make a living just like us.

There is something that feels so rebellious about spurning the big coffee giants who buy inferior coffee from several locations around the world and then mark it up for sale in major cities. It just feels right to buy quality wholesale Kona coffee that comes from a tropical paradise. We don't need to worry that some of the Kona coffee beans are mixed with inferior beans when we insist on buying 100 percent Kona coffee.

We are also being wise consumers by doing this, making sure we get what we pay for. That is also being a smart consumer - not wasting money on something that is not worth it.

Sometimes in the hustle and bustle of our days, we mistakenly think that popping into the big super chain coffee store or the supermarket to buy a bag of beans is the most convenient and time saving way to buy coffee. But with online access so prevalent, it truly is easier to order coffee online and have it shipped to your doorstep.

With everything being outsourced to other countries, it sure is nice to know that we can support our countrymen, help our economy and enjoy the simple pleasures in life to the fullest with something as simple as buying coffee grown in Hawaii. It just makes sense.About the Author:
