On Saturday, April 6, the North Kohala Eat Locally Grown Campaign, together with Sustainable Kohala and Iole Hawaii, will host a Farm to Fork Tour of three farms centered in the Historic Bond District of North Kohala.

Ohua O Na Kiai No Na Keiki O Ka Aina, HIP Agriculture’s GRACE Garden, and Risley Farms invite the community to experience their unique approaches to sustainable stewardship at Iole.

Ohua O Na Kiai No Na Keiki O Ka Aina are an inspiring group of Kohala volunteers who have successfully restored a network of historic loi with ties to King Kamehameha I.

HIP Agriculture’s GRACE Garden at Iole features traditional Polynesian crops and is designed to serve Kohala’s youth and community as an educational demonstration site.

Risley Farms is a farm with a mission: ‘Food for the body and food for the soul.’

The scenic and productive food gardens at Risley Farms reflect Peter Risley’s passion for providing the local community with access to the highest quality organic produce.

The tour will meet at Iole Hawaii at 1 pm. Cost is $10, which will be collected on the day of the tour.

Space is limited and advance registration is required.
