Hawai‘i Island Homegrown:
Food Self-Reliance Workshop
Ocean View Community Center, Ocean View
Saturday, June 6, 2009, 8:30 am–5:00 pm
With more than 85% of our food imported from off-island,
many Hawai‘i Island residents are concerned about our community’s food security. This workshop will empower you to reduce your food budget, increase consumption of fresher, more nutritious food, decrease the impact of spiraling fuel costs, and help create an abundance of food for sharing or sale. This workshop is for gardeners, farmers, homeowners, landscapers, teachers, extension professionals—anyone interested in growing Hawai’i community food self-reliance.
