Kona Sea Salt

04/09/2026

Aloha from Mason and Ellie prepping for another storm heading our way - hopefully it will not as bad this time. They are working on protecting the fan boxes. We have a filtered ventilation system gently pushing moist air out of the evaporation tunnels, keeping as much of the heat in as possible but moving the moisture out. Another benefit of them is the positive air pressure it creates in the salt tunnels. It keeps any dust and dirt out as well and keeps our salt naturally so pristine. If you are in Kona, come check us out!!

Hauʻoli p**e Merrie Monarch kākou!
Every spring, Hawai’i comes alive with the spirit of Merrie Monarch Festival This week and weekend, Hilo is filled with incredible celebrations, art and craft fairs, fashion, hōʻike (exhibitions), cultural demonstrations, and of course the world-renowned hula competition honoring the legacy of King David Kalākaua, who helped revive hula and Hawaiian traditions.
For those lucky enough to get a chance to be in Hilo this week is something truly special. And for those who aren’t able to attend in person you can watch it on livestream on the Merry Monarch website and YouTube channel and locally in Hawaii on K5.
Ipolani’s brother is a Kumu Hula, his hālau, Hālau Hiʻiakaināmakalehua will be competing. We are so proud and excited to watch them share their ʻike, dedication, and artistry. Wishing them and all of the competing halau a beautiful, strong, and inspiring Merrie Monarch.

If you have never tasted Deep Ocean Water. This is water that literally just came to the surface from 2,200 feet after 900 years of travel. Interesting to taste the difference of deepsea and surface water. Deep Ocean Water is actually lower in salinity, if you ever had a mouthful of surface water, you can really tell the difference. We built a little fountain at the farm where you can try it!

Going through TSA this morning with our replacement sign. It got pulled aside and several TSA agents gathered around it .. to read it. They loved it. So nice to see so many people care so much about ‘s work.

You are exhausted, your body is tired but your brain won’t turn off. Sound familiar? For many people sleep is not about being tired but about being unable to switch off. The body is designed to move between two states: Sympathetic which is alertness, active and stressed and parasympathetic which is calm, relaxed and ready to sleep. In modern life we are under a barrage of constant stimulation, phones, screens, stress and your brain never really downshifts. Magnesium plays a central role helping the body shift into a calm and sleep ready state. It regulates GABA neurotransmitter that quiets brain activity, lowers stress signals and also relaxes the body. So many of us do not get enough Magnesium in our diets. If you feel like that, Magnesium might be the missing piece to set the conditions right for sleep.
Our Magnesium comes from Deep Ocean Water, we offer it as Drop to add to Drinking Water or as Mist for topical use.

When lava remembers... Just north of our site was once the thriving and huge Royal Fishpond, Pa’aiea. The 1801 Hualalai eruption completely covered it with lava. As the water boiled from the heat of the lava, it oxidized or “rusted” the iron in the lava. You can still see the orange color imprint it left in layers of the lava and in some surface areas if you walk down to Kekaha Kai State Park. Or take a good look next time you fly in or out of the Kona Airport. Pa’aiea Fishpond might be gone but the memory of it is still here.
