Aloha from Surfing Goat Dairy: A Message of Gratitude, Compassion, and Resilience

Aloha, dear friends of Surfing Goat Dairy! It’s with a mixture of appreciation, hope, and a strong sense of community that we reach out to you today. The recent events have certainly been challenging, but your unwavering support has been a beacon of light in these trying times. Allow us to extend our heartfelt gratitude for your kindness, concern, and solidarity.

If you’ve visited our goat farm and goat cheese shop in Kula, Maui, you are already part of our extended family. And if you’ve been following the news, you may be aware of the Maui wildfire disaster and the aftermath of Hurricane Dora on August 8. We want to assure you that your well-wishes and outreach have not gone unnoticed. Each email, every social media message, the online goat cheese orders, and the calls inquiring about our well-being have deeply touched us. Your genuine care truly warms our hearts.

But the spirit of aloha doesn’t stop at our gates. In times of adversity, we’re all part of a larger community, and we’re in this together. That’s why we want to take this opportunity to share some meaningful ways to lend a hand to our beloved Maui community in the wake of these unprecedented challenges.

If you’re considering contributing to the recovery efforts, consider donating to the Maui Food Bank or the Red Cross. These organizations are doing incredible work, supporting over 3,000 people in need during these trying times. Your generosity can make a substantial impact on the lives of those affected.

At Surfing Goat Dairy, our commitment to compassion and community remains unwavering. In the spirit of giving, we’re proud to announce that we’re offering a safe and welcoming haven for pet goats from Lahaina and anywhere else on Maui that might be in need. Our farm is a place of care, and we’re ready to embrace these goats and offer them a secure environment. As our farm is filling up quickly, we’re dedicated to ensuring that every goat is safe and healthy. And if vaccinations or deworming are needed, we’re covering the costs – no strings attached. Together, let’s create a haven of comfort and safety for these wonderful creatures who bring us so much joy.

As we navigate through these challenging times, we want to emphasize that our farm is still open for tours. We’re inviting you to experience the magic of our goats and the beauty of our dairy farm. Your presence is a testament to the strength of our community, and we would be thrilled to welcome you with open arms.

So, as the sun continues to rise over our beautiful Maui, let’s remember that resilience, compassion, and the spirit of aloha are what unite us. Once again, from the depths of our hearts, thank you for standing with us. Let’s continue to support one another, for together, we are stronger.

With warmth and gratitude,

Thomas and the Surfing Goat Dairy Team
