North Kohala Food Forum

Saturday, August 22, 2009, from 9:00 a.m.–4:30 p.m.
Kohala Intergenerational Center (behind the gym at Kamehameha Park in Kapa‘au).
Tickets: $10 includes a delicious, all local (North Kohala) grown lunch prepared by local chefs.
Tickets are available at The Kohala Center, the Kohala Coffee Mill, North Kohala Community Resource Center, and Nanbu Courtyard Café.

The Food Forum seeks to bring together all of the parties interested in community food self-reliance in North Kohala. The North Kohala Food Forum has invited 70 panelists—commercial food producers, food markets, wholesalers and commercial buyers, as well as people representing infrastructure (water, land, energy, processing facilities), government, and education—to talk about what the challenges and opportunities are for meeting our community goal of producing 50% of our own food. The North Kohala Food Forum does not have a plan for achieving this goal, rather the idea is to bring people together to share information and see where collaboration can happen.

The Food Forum is a project of the North Kohala Community Resource Center and is partially funded by the County of Hawai‘i Office of Research & Development and community donations. Additional donors are welcome.
