We are committed to supporting a healthy community by strengthening local agriculture and improving access to nutritious, affordable food. We envision an island community sustained by a thriving, local, and sustainable food system that reduces reliance on imported and processed foods.

Our hands-on, outdoor learning experiences cultivate curiosity about natural life cycles, connect students and families to their food sources, and inspire better nutrition choices. Through our Farm to School Program, we establish food gardens and living science labs in local schools. Our new Community Food Systems Program, Nā Māla Kaiāulu, builds sustainable community food gardens and systems that serve underprivileged communities across Maui, integrating social enterprise, workshops, and educational opportunities.
