Hydroponic Farm Set To Open This Year

Posted on by

The indoor hydroponic farm is scheduled to open later this year. The Larry Ellison partnership will be able to grow and sell vegetables for cheaper than produce thats imported. Last August Ellison announced the Sensei project on Lanai. Sensei would use automated computer hydroponic farming in large greenhouses.

Also set to reopen later this year is the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, The Lodge at Koele. The property closed in January 2015 in order for extensive renovations to be done totaling approximately $75 million. A new spa and fitness center are among the new amenities the lodge will provide.

Lani is the first Sensei farm for the Los Angeles based company. The first crops will include Black Trifle tomatoes, and Komatsuna mustard greens. We look forward to viewing the completed project!

Ouch! That’s gotta hurt!

Our neighbor, Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki, was hit by a pitch Friday in the hand during the game against the Philadelphia Phillies during the 4th inning. Suzuki was able to remain in the game an additional two innings before finally having to be replaced.

Suzuki is bruised up pretty good. He is hoping to return to the lineup early this week. Best wishes for a speedy recovery!

We were so sick of paying oodles of money for ink on our copier and oh the time wasted changing the tanks in the middle of printing. Bought an Epson eco-tank printer. Over a year has passed and just had to add ink. Cost of ink very inexpensive. ITS THE BEST!
