LD Adventure, Day 2: Hiro's Coffee Farm

UPDATE: This cool little place just got a write-up in Stars & Stripes!

After packing up camp at the Higashi Beach (& getting a friendly American 4-wheel vehicle driver to pull us out of the sand), we continued north along the east coast on Hwy 70. Our first stop was at Hiro's Coffee, an awesome little coffee farm (we aren't the only ones that think so), where we had some delicious fresh brewed organic hot coffee. As we waited for the beverages, we were entertained by the free ranging chickens (were 1 or both roosters?). The very friendly owner struck up a conversation with us & graciously agreed to appear in our photo collection! It was so yummy & delightful that we even purchased a bag of dark roast beans (which we're currently enjoying using in our espresso maker), despite being natural penny-pinchers that too often end up supporting the coffers of the coffee giants.

The flier that came with our bag of beans:

The menu - short & simple & pretty:

Despite the name, those are just coffee plants:
