Kohala Seniors Eat Locally Grown

Posted on October 1, 2010 | Leave a comment



On Monday, September 27th, David Fuertes of Ka Hana No’eau, Marc Kinoshita of the Hoea Agricultural Park and North Kohala Eat Locally Grown hosted a locally grown luncheon for the Kohala Seniors. David cooked up laulau with local pork and chicken long rice. Marc made some succulent yellow flesh sweet potatoes and fresh squeezed lemonade, and Andrea Dean brought a green salad, cooking greens, eggplants and tomatillos. The salad greens were donated by Blue Dragon Farms, sprouts by Lone Palm Sprouts, cooking greens by Lokahi Farms and eggplants and tomatillos by Kokolulu Farm. Eddie Pollock helped coordinate food donations, clean and make salad. A big thanks for David and Marc for setting the day up with the Kohala Seniors, providing food and cooking.

One man wore the perfect t-shirt for the occasion!

A Great Day Learning Laau Lapaau (Traditional Hawaiian Medicine) with Noeau

Posted on October 1, 2010 | Leave a comment

By all accounts, the Laau Lapaau class on Saturday, September 25th with Pamela Noeau Day was fabulous! About 20 people came to Star Seed Ranch to learn the basics of traditional Hawaiian medicine. The class took a walk with Noeau and she pointed out common plants that have medicinal uses. The class was hands on, everyone got to make a laau preparation. I was the lucky recipient of a jar of medicine from my friend Susan Cox! Special thanks to Pamela Noeau Day and to Star Seed Ranch for making the magic happen.

Cracking kukui and then grinding and roasting.
