Aloha All Just back from a weekend in Kipahulu Maui meeting with the folks of the four farms for our upcoming farm tour. Revisiting the tour we had in 2002, "Backside Farm Tour"
The intention is on Oct 24th taking up to 100 people in small buses around the backside to revisit these special ecological Organic farms.
A special access into four organic farms in wetland taro,vegetable,fruit and timber bamboo production, with extensive use of nitrogen fixing cover crops and ground covers. Making a strong case as to what is possible for our island home to be self sustaining in food and fiber.
There will be a soil consultant facilitator to analyze the test taken and offer a comparison of analysis that were taken back in 2002 as to where the farms have evolved.
We also are very excited about our upcoming conference in January that will be on three islands this year. Maui, Big Isle and Kauai. Details will be forthcoming on our website soon.
