Big farm news! HI in gen & Maui county in specific has serious food security issues. A big part is having enough places for local farmers to sell produce to the people who need it & for them to make a profit while doing it. Soon, there will be one more place for farmers & folks to do just that. 😍🤙🔥

This makes me so happy. Esp as Hawaii’s govt has quite the corrupt past, particularly since the overthrow. If we can change here, so can the other 49 - with Montana making moves. #politicssky #endcitizensunitedsky

Theory Schmeory. I’m telling you, the hit on the Hyundai plant was a mob style maneuver to get this months long negotiation to go their way. They knew the visas of the South Korean workers were valid, they were used abused so that Cheato could manipulate where their $ is spent. Billions of it.

Sometimes, amazing things come in small, thorny packages!!! A dragonfruit bicycle wheel trellis yields its first delicious treasure!!! #agriculturesky #farmingsky #farmsky

I have a theory. Taco Cheato hates wind power - particularly Orsted (formerly Danish Oil & Natural gas) backed. Does anyone else think it’s payback for Denmark not handing over Greenland? Is South Korea not making a fast or good enough deal, so they hit the Hyundai factory today? #EnergySky

All of the Republicans who for years railed about "unelected bureaucrats" destroying the government are awfully quiet as an unelected bureaucrat destroys the government.

Sounds good. Between 20% and %60 increased yield, healthier vines, and other benefits including enhanced aroma profiles. #agsky #viticulture #agrivoltaics

Cracking Macs!!! Every wonder why Macadamia nuts cost so much? They are delicious & super labor intensive, especially if you only have a non-industrial cracker. Props to the nut farmers! #foodsecurity #nuts #hawaii #whatscooking🍽️ #farmers #farming

Thank you, egg. Thank you chicken. I am beyond grateful to have any eggs at all, & as someone who works in #foodsecurity, I’m pretty worried about this cross species epidemic. Support your local farmers, keep an eye on your flocks. Look to Can & Euro sites for info. Hang in there, America

Days in the life of my farm. We grow for the Maui Food Bank, delivering roughly 400-500 pounds of fresh produce each month, more in the high harvest days. Food insecurity is a big problem here, so important to keep an eye on your peeps. Bring a neighbor an extra plate, sometime! 😁
