Create educational programs that empower our community, from Keiki to Kupuna, to grow, raise, or make their own food.
Build greenhouses—Member supported builds from small family setups to larger community structures—and market stands for members to sell their produce, supporting those who contribute through volunteer efforts
Offer Boomerang Grants--The Boomerang Grant empowers members by providing startup funds and building support for farming. Finances are coupled with training on selling the food they grow, enabling our members to repay these grants and achieve economic self-sufficiency. This repayable model ensures that once a grant is returned, it can be awarded to another community member, fostering a cycle of empowerment and sustainability
