Bring your favorite dishes using only locally grown food for the Third Annual 100% LOCAL FOOD CONTEST AND POTLUCK!

UPDATE:

Aloha La'akea friends and family,

We have decided to postpone this year's seed exchange. We do not have a new date as of yet. Our date was October 4th and many people's energy (including our own) is being directed differently in preparation for the potential highway closing.

Once things have settled down a bit we will notify you about a gathering with more of a self-reliance focus.
