Two more North Hawaii organizations ‘approved’

Kohala Coffee Mill was named the the first Blue Zones Restaurant® in Kohala, and the third in North Hawaii. Kohala Seventh-day Adventist was named the first Blue Zones Project® Approved faith-based organization in the region. Kohala’s Adventist Church has a natural connection to Blue Zones Project, since one of the five original Blue Zones is Loma Linda, California — a town that has a large concentration of Seventh-day Adventists. To become an approved restaurant, Kohala Coffee Mill added a “Blue Zones Breakfast” dish to the menu featuring one soufflé egg with multigrain or gluten-free bread topped with veggies of choice.
