that with the exception of Hawaii and Puerto Rico, no coffee is grown in the United States? A coffee tree requires a mean temperature of 66-77 degrees farenheit. Interestingly, the coffee trees I saw in Maui reminded me very much of a Holly tree w/o the sharp pointy leaves. I wonder if there has been any luck growing trees for production in greenhouses? It would certainly help satisfy the county requirement of retailing primarily what can be raised and grown in Oregon. Something to think about.
In other news, the soil here on the island is still too wet to plant - just a few more dry days will do. So in the meantime we will enjoy the daffodils and cherry and peach tree blossoms!
Happy Easter,
Brenda
