ALOHA ALL.
I AM REQUESTING SOME IDEAS AND MAYBE EVEN SOME FOLKS WHO WOULD LIKE TO ORGANIZE A MEETUP OR TWO.
ANY AND ALL IDEAS WELCOME.
CAN ANYONE HOST A POT LUCK AT THEIR HOME AND GET US ALL TOGETHER ???

We like to get together and eat Local Grown Foods, and would love to find friends who want to do so as well.

There is a need for small scale local growers and farmers to see our support.

We prefer to know where our food is grown, to know how it's being nurtured.........

wow I just came across a great saying at a restaurant today

" FIND THE SHORTEST SIMPLEST WAY BETWEEN THE EARTH THE HANDS AND THE MOUTH" -Lanza del Vasto

After visiting and volunteering on many an organic farm from South West Florida , NY State, Maine, Washington State, and here in Hawaii one thing is for sure, our small scale growers work very hard to feed us healthy food.

Some of our ideas for events include :

visiting farms, both locally and on neighboring Islands, visiting farmers markets, sharing home grown backyard garden goodies, , starting a seed exchange, sharing garden experiences., planning a "Farm Aid" Fundraiser , encouraging and helping our neighbors start growin fruits and veggies.

We can plan camp outs beside fields, beach side potlucks, farm tours where we meet the growers hear their stories, join in on projects, take some classes together, learn some new skills, share some old ones, get out in the fresh air, and Vote with our Forks.

All who have an interest in eating the best quality food available on our Islands should join us.
Our intention is to seek it out, hunt it down , climb trees when appropriate to get it, as well as enjoy dinning in some of Hawaii's finest restaurants, cafe's, health food stores, road side stands/lunch wagons, in each others homes, yards, at local beaches and parks........you get the idea. come on join up with us.....there are no fees to join.

Donations to pay for the web site are REALLY appreciated but not mandatory.

      I've been baking bread for years, but have never found a loaf as fool-proof and delicious as this one! I buy all of the ingredients at Kokua Co-Op at King and University, many of them from the bulk bins. The cost per loaf is ~half of store bought
