Community Food Systems Program
This program was kicked off in 2020 with our support of 2 community gardens at the YMCA and Big Brothers, Big Sisters. With the high rate of food insecurity on Maui, we decided to name the program to encompass more… to stick with our mission to cultivate a healthy community by strengthening local agriculture and improving access to nutritious, affordable food.
Community Food Systems Focus Areas
Plant Distribution
We grow and distribute plants to people who want to learn to grow their own food. We share information on care, growing, use and storage of many types of plants that grow well in our tropical climates.
Community Gardens
We stick with what we do best! Build gardens and educate people (families and keiki) on growing food! We hope to integrate some kitchen programs to demonstrate how to prepare food that grows in our gardens.
