Kava the Health Food – A Banana Coconut Milk Kava Recipe
Aloha everyone! With all of the kava plants here on the farm coming in to their full glory, I am once again inspired to take to my kitchen and begin exploring exciting new kava drink creations! In the summer, there is always more than enough work to do on a kava farm – tending the plants, harvesting, drying kava root, preparing kava powder – the list is endless! Of course, kava farming is in my genes, so I don’t mind the work – I find it very grounding and healing – but it definitely requires tons of energy! Now,...
read moreThe Aloha Spirit – Kava for Planetary Healing
Aloha Everyone! The weather here in Hawaii has been wonderful lately. Things got a little crazy back in March with tons of rain, hail, flooding, and even a waterspout! But now we’re back to normal with lovely weather, lots of sun, and just enough sweet island rain here and there to make the ‘awa plants sing. Of course, I’ve been super busy on the farm, but I’ve still had time to gather some of the most recent kava news, and I’m happy to report that everything is looking great for global awareness of this...

Aloha Everyone, Warm breezes are finally shifting the relative dim of the rainy season here in Hawaii. I find that this time of year always brings me a great deal more energy, inspiration, and excitement for the future. With this inspiration I often find myself trying to discover interesting new ways to do those things that I do every day, breathing new life in to old rituals to create a sense of shift, change, and growth in my experience. As I’m sure you can guess, one ritual that I love to perform every day is the preparation and...
read moreWorldwide Kava Liberation Movements
Aloha Everyone! It certainly seems that things are getting more and more chaotic all over the world these past few months. Although there have been some negative things that have occurred as of late, I have been witnessing more and more signs that movements toward rational, reasonable, compassionate behavior are growing, gaining strength and momentum, and creating very real change. I am extremely happy to report that this movement towards rationality can be seen more and more clearly in the recent news surrounding kava! Maybe it’s a bit...
read moreThe Love of Nature – Herbal Aphrodisiacs
Aloha everyone! One of the many perks that comes along with running a kava farm on a beautiful, vibrant island paradise is that I never have to worry about what sorts of Valentine’s Day gifts I should give out. For whatever reason (perhaps because the warmth of the tropical environment promotes growth, connection and love in all things), most of the products that we provide at Kona Kava Farm are aphrodisiacs in some sense of the word. And what could be a better Valentine’s Day present than a selection of lovely and strong...

Aloha everyone! Welcome to a brand new year! I hope everyone else is having as wonderful a new year as I am so far! I can definitely tell that this year is going to bring a great many wonderful things and many new revelations and beginnings! Speaking of new beginnings, one of my friends who lives in Australia keyed me in to this little bit of information that originally popped up on Radio Australia. Apparently, many Pacific Islanders who are living in Australia are campaigning to have the kava ban in the country lifted. The ban was imposed in...
read moreA Family Kava Story
Aloha everyone! I hope you are all having an enjoyable holiday season, and that those of you who live in colder climates are adapting to the chilly winter weather. Here in Hawaii, it’s been a bit rainy, but even in the cooler months I usually find that if you wait just a little bit, the sun will come out sooner or later, and more often than not it will bring a rainbow along with it! I know I’ve been writing a lot about news articles recently, so today I wanted to share a personal story with all of you. It’s about my nephew,...
read moreKava for…Pets?
Aloha everyone! Makaira here. The rainy season is beginning in Hawaii, which means that I’ve been spending less time outside working with my beautiful ‘awa plants, and more time researching, reading, and looking for mentions of kava in the news. Just the other day, I happened to stumble across a completely bizarre article regarding kava and pets. I’ve honestly never even considered this to be an issue, so I thought I would share it with all of you in case anyone was wondering whether kava was good to give to pets. This...
read moreFinally, some Good Kava News!
Aloha everyone! The last few months have seen an incredible number of articles on the potential dangers of kava and other natural herbal supplements. These articles (which mostly seemed to repeat the exact same information over and over again with no particular evidence to back up their alarmist claims), informed readers that kava could cause liver damage and possible death, ignoring the fact that most pharmaceutical medicines prescribed by doctors for anxiety, physical pain, and depression have much higher rates of potentially deadly side...
read moreKava For Sleep and Insomnia
Aloha everyone! Fall is on its way, and even here in Hawaii we are starting to feel just a little bit of a refreshing crispness in the air. The intense amount of harvesting work that has to be done in the summer here at Kona Kava Farm is starting to calm down, and I’m looking forward to having a little bit more time to research and write and, of course, to curl up and read a good book with a hot (!) cup of kava cocoa! Recently, I have been asked several times about the efficacy of kava for helping to improve sleep, particularly for...
