Ali'i Kula Lavender Farm, Maui

(download)

First visit to the lavender farm in Kula with my cousin Colin visiting from neighboring island Oahu...not really a local thing to do. The farm is small (in Mainland standards) and very charming. I love Kula, the weather reminds me of San Francisco, cool and foggy. I was sad to hear that the co-owner Ali'i passed away unexpectedly earlier this year. It was inspiring and made me want to whip up some Lemon & Lavender Macaroons!

Had a cup of lavender coffee and a lavender scone and enjoyed the view of the west Maui mountains, one of my favorite places on earth.

Number crunching

My good friend Lauren aka Salt (this is news to her) used to be a flavor scientist (so interesting!) at Nestle before she gave birth to her son Pace aka Little Picante and became a f-time mom. She is kind enough to figure out the calories/nutrition value of each snack! I cannot wait to compare the numbers of our product to other mass produced chemical filled snacks out on the market!
