Hurricane Lowell Impact on Kauai
Aloha! On September 7, 2026 the State of Hawaii, specifically the Islands of Niihau and Kauai were impacted by Hurricane Lowell. Our small, remote island that sustained significant damage is on the mend.
At the Last Resort Chocolate, we are excited to let everyone know that life is resuming a more normal pace. By no means are we 100% but God willing we will be around the New Year.
The Coconut Marketplace Farmer's Market has resumed. After taking a week to get the farm into an operating status, we joined our friends at the market. We were pleasantly surprised at the locals who turned out to help support the small farms.
Beautiful fall weather has arrived and we have a few special events coming up in October. With the threat of power outages from storms gone for now, we have resumed the production of chocolate to replenish inventory. In production is the 75% Dark Chocolate with Vanilla and Sea Salt and our 75% Bourbon Barrel Aged Dark Chocolate.
Good news on the Chocolate Covered Macadamia fans. Looks like we were able to harvest a good supply and if all goes well they will be shipping in time for Thanksgiving.
FedEx has caught up on the disruption created by Hurricane Lowell and orders have resumed a 2 day transit from Kauai.
Stay tuned as we continue to recover from Hurricane Lowell and his 2026 Labor Day Party and we appreciate all of the thoughts and prayers.
Aloha!
