On the breakfast menu this week…
Spring in Kula, Maui brings longer days and slightly warmer weather - a wonderful time to harvest strawberries. Strawberries are not your typical tropical fruit, and Kula is not your typical place. Located on the western slops of Haleakala, Kulaʻs 1000-3000 foot elevation brings colder weather, good rainfall, and sunny skies that allow Kula farmers to grow an immense array of products not found anywhere else in Hawaii, including strawberries. Our friends at Maui Preserved have shared with us a limited, seasonal release of Pickled Kula Strawberries that are an easy and exciting way to enjoy these delicate, sweet berries year-round. Picked at the height of the season, Maui Preserved then pickles the strawberries to give them a a sophisticated, tangy-ness. Currently, weʻre enjoying them for breakfast with greek yogurt and a drizzle of local honey. Itʻs the breakfast of champions!
Great to catch up with the publishers of @manamagazine , who are celebrating their 1 Year anniversary. The current issue features a piece by Nainoa Thompson on Eddie Aikau. Get yours at www.mymanamagazine.com

Map + Type = Maui
In the days of smartphone maps, we are never really lost. Which gives us a wonderful excuse to get lost in a printed map - all the places and possibilities, all the distances and distractions! This month, weʻre sharing a typography-based map of Maui, the Valley Isle, made by local graphic designer, Ashely Johnston, We love looking at the names of all the places weʻve been to and the places we still have yet to visit. Itʻs enough to make one jump on-line and book a flight to Maui!
Much ado about Maui
Hereʻs our May Makana - hitting subscriber doorsteps all over the country right about now.
We continue our Island By Island series and feature designer Ashely Johnstonʻs Maui Map Print alongside Kihei-based Adobolocoʻs Bangkok Hot Sauce made with Maui-grown peppers and a special release of Haikū-based Maui Preservedʻs Pickled Strawberries grown in Kula. Maui no ka oi!
