Covid has taught us many things over the last two years. It further exposed our reliance on imported food and refueled our focus on the importance of growing food locally and supporting Hawaiʻi farmers.
The Conversation took the opportunity to check in with one Oʻahu farmer on the Windward side. Hanale Bishop is the owner of Homestead Poi and a 12-acre taro farm. He shared what he believes are the basic elements needed for self-sufficiency.
He’s also one of the coordinators of the Key Project Kalo Festival in Kahaluʻu this Saturday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.
