It was rough getting up at 5 am but once I stepped out on the deck and saw the beautiful sunrise, I perked ready up and was ready to start my day. I put on a pot of coffee and was able to take my time enjoying it. My car was already loaded last night, so all I had to do was get dressed and go.
It was so nice not having to deal with a tent. I just pulled in parked my car, popped the trunk and started setting up my tables. All the vendors were so nice and friendly and seemed happy I was there. That made all the hard work well worth it.
The only downside was I didn't get my second cup of coffee and no one was selling coffee. One vendor said she had to drive to town just to get coffee. That's okay though because next Saturday I'll have a big pot setup and everyone can buy their coffee from me. I already bought the coffee cups and lids. As soon as my friend gets his coffee roasted, I'll be selling the coffee beans. His is the best I ever had, organic Kau coffee.
I had a good day in sales and had already sold almost $100 in products by 8 am! I barely sold that much all day at the market I was working the last few weeks.
I didn't eat breakfast this morning and was starving by 10 am. Fortunately there was a the food truck and I ordered a plate. Omg it was to die for and loaded down.
A couple of friends I haven't seen in a couple of years showed up at my booth. What a treat. One was a beautiful lady that came to the Big Island just to become a bee keepers to help save the bees. I'm going to her house tomorrow to buy a gallon of her honey and got her permission to put my label on it. She is also giving me a few gallons of baking honey and some honey comb. She also makes bee bread that has a lot of bee pollen in it. I'll probably purchase some from her for my own use.
On the way home, I stopped at a friend's farm to get some fresh coconuts to make some coconut jalepeno jam. Her son even cracked the open for me. I'm not any good with a machete. Lol
After I got home, I had to process the coconuts and get them in the freezer. The coconut meat is very time consuming to get out, so I grabbed my mallet and broke them into to smaller pieces and dug the coconut out of the shells.
This was from just two of the coconuts and I bought 5.
After taking of my chickens and watering my garden, I was ready to stretch out on my bed and call it a day.
Manolo for all your support and love! Have a restful night 😘
