Ku I Ka Mana -- Beginning Farmer Training

Starting in the Hāmākua region of Hawai‘i Island, The Koala Center, in partnership with several local government agencies and academic institutions, will recruit, train, and support at least 40 new farmers over the next two years. The program will also help these new farmers develop business plans, secure farm leases, gain access to farm equipment and materials, and successfully produce, market, and distribute their crops. As part of this program there is a training site in Honoka‘a that will be used to teach successful farming practices.
