Subject: Happy Day for Kona Farmers

I just learned that the County Resolution mandating 75% in a Kona
Blend to be called a "Kona Blend", on this island of Hawaii where Kona
is grown, passed:):):). Oh it was a tedious morning listening to 40
Testimonies and the blenders spoke strongly against it-'natch,but it
is a wonderful day for we farmers. (Along the lines of Napa Valley
wine etc. You must have a predominance of Kona and Napa Wine to call
it either name.) The County Resolution passed 8 to 1! Yippee!
Currently the State law which is the next step, says a Kona Blend
needs only 10% Kona to be called a Kona Blend. It just shows
soemtimes it all works out well when you are prepared and I did not
do the organizing but we all did what we were told and we have some
wonderful farmers and roasters etc. who worked hard and it was a win!
aloha to all,
