About arneradventures

Hi, we are Shannon and Gerry Arner, and our rescue, fur baby, Betty White. After owning our own business, working 24/7, we made a lifestyle change and decided to make the most out of life. We sold our house, downsized, and moved to the coast. We are wanderlusters; we live life minimally, but fully. We live each day as an adventure, and enjoy sharing them with you!

But Kona Earth is not just about coffee; it’s about giving back. Steve and Joanie established “Care In Every Cup,” a program that donates a percentage of every purchase to the Kohala Center, a non-profit dedicated to preserving fragile ecosystems.

👉What inspired the major life shift and how it transformed perspectives on work and life.
👉Notable challenges and rewards in making the transition to coffee farming and starting the “Care In Every Cup” initiative.
👉How the move to Hawaii and life as coffee farmers aligns with values and a vision for a simpler, more meaningful existence.
👉Joanie and Steve answer our “Fast 5 Questions” and the question we ask all of our guests, “What does a life well lived mean to you?” Swipe left for the snippet!

As Steve and Joanie delved into the world of Kona coffee, they discovered a passion for cultivating and roasting coffee beans on their own terms. And we love that so much! This is a great story- definitely tune in!
