Gardening is a skill that takes time – you have to get to know your land, learn what grows well, what animals inhabit the same space, and then as seasons shift everything changes once again. We have a LOT to learn about growing in Hawaii, but the thing we’ve figured out so far is that this land was built for the taro plant. Here in Hawaii, taro is called kalo, and the baby plant is called huli. The leaves are a rich sources of nutrients from protein to Vitamin C and Vitamin A. The tuber at the bottom of the plant is called the corm and is a hearty, starchy, staple food. Hawaiians use it to make the traditional food called poi, which we still have yet to see made in person, but hopefully, we can experience that one day soon!

We are so grateful to Ola Mau Farms (https://www.instagram.com/ola_mau_farms) for their generous gift of 18 huli stock so that we could replenish our garden. We’re looking forward to their call to come to spend some days working on the farm as a trade for this incredible plant.

And of course still grateful for the time we spent with Daniel and his wife Alohi and all the wisdom they imparted to us during our quick trip. If you want to see the video we made with them here’s a link – https://youtu.be/bmQxvqtt5qo

Big hugs,
