Maui workshop
May 19-20, 2012
Optional Tour May 21, 2012.

The Hawai‘i Public Seed Initiative held the third of its five-island, 2-day at Noho‘ana Farm in Waikapu, the Kupa‘a farm in Kula and offered an optional tour to The Maui Farm in Makawao. A delicious local farm lunch was catered by chef Hiram Peri from Honu cuisine. This workshop was designed to create a practical working knowledge of seed growing, botany and biology, selection, harvesting, cleaning, and saving of various types of seed. Each island will host a similar workshop in 2012. Check for a workshop date on your island in the menu to the left.
