Newsletter 50 - April 2013
|
Aloha mai! This edition marks the beginning of the fifth year of publication of the Hawai'i Homegrown Food Network Newsletter. We sincerely thank all of our contributors and subscribers (currently over 1600!) for four fulfilling and productive years. Over the past four years, we have seen a steady rise in interest in sustainably grown, local food in the number of events, farmers markets, and resources for growers, sellers and consumers. We are all hungry for fresh, nutritious, locally grown food. Even more so, we are hungry for connection to the source of our food: the land, sea, and community we live in.
Thank you so much for all your support for sustainable and local food in Hawai'i. Mahalo nui loa, Craig Elevitch and Pedro Tama
