Maui `Ohana Gardens is an initiative of Food Security Hawai`i, a local non-profit dedicated to long-term regenerative local food solutions, all the way from healthy soil to nutritious and delicious “grown here not flown here” food on your plate.
Hawai`i is learning how to steer away from 90% reliance on imported food, and there are proven methods we can implement at every level – from large-scale farming and livestock operations, to smaller family farms, to your own backyard.

We help you get the resources you need to grow food right at home. Start your garden!
Our goal is to get 10,000 food-bearing trees in the ground in a year, as well as help you with your veggie gardens. Sign up for our newsletter to get regular updates on our webinars, workshops, and tree give-aways.
