This week our crew started prepping the community farm field with compost. Our first set of farmers will receive their lot next month. #soilremediation#mahipono

Here’s the view from our potato field that is scheduled for harvest next month. Our team has been working hard to return the former sugarcane land back to active agriculture that will help to increase local food production and food security.

Mahalo to the Hawaii Food & Wine Festival for previewing our potatoes at two events held on Maui over the weekend! We hope your guests enjoyed being the first to taste them! #HawaiiFoodandWineFest#MahiPono#Potatoes
We recently completed work on the Waiale Reservoir Bypass Project. With the Bypass in place, the old and inefficient Waiale Reservoir will no longer be used for irrigation purposes, but will continue to exist as a flood control basin for the surrounding Wailuku community.
We’re excited that #HFWF19 guest will be the first to try our Maui grown potatoes. We’ll keep you posted on our first full harvest that is scheduled for November!
