Morning light slants through the gulches off Hana Highway as you turn onto a gravel lane and spot a white-and-blue farmstand. Alpacas lift their heads from the pasture, soft eyes studying visitors; their low, curious hum seems to settle the air. The mountain side here is a patchwork of pasture and rainforest, with the ocean breathing somewhere beyond the ridgeline.
