Aloha Kakou,
I had the chance to stop by the Crop Share at Mala'ai this last Saturday. It is a wonderful event that happens every Saturday at the school garden at Waimea Middle School. Last Saturday there were beautiful onions, avocados, oranges, cucumbers, herbs, lettuces and even edible flowers! So bring your excess produce from your farm or home garden to exchange with other community members, and maybe take a tour of the beautiful garden.
Island Naturals in Hilo is celebrating their one year anniversary this Saturday and our own Kim Hoffman will be there with a Slow Food table! She's there from 10-2 so stop by and say hello.
Kuaiwi Farm in Captain Cook is offering a chocolate making class on April 15th from 9-1. You will learn how to go from cacao bean to beautiful chocolates, enjoy a tour of the farm and plenty of samples. The cost is $45 and is limited to 10 people, all of whom will leave with a goodie bag of chocolates. Please call 328-8888 for reservations.
And this from our busy Leaders on Hilo side:
