Tour of Nalo Farms

What a great day! Dean Okimoto of Nalo Farms gave us a very informative tour of his farm in Waimanalo. He showed us the various greens and herbs they grow there and even gave us a taste testing of three different varieties of tomato all grown at different elevation and climate here in Hawai'i. Nalo Farms produce can be found at local farmer's markets and soon to be in some local supermarkets! Here is their website: http://www.nalo-farms.com/index-3.php

Slow Food Dinner at Mai Lan

On Monday, March 24th, Slow Food KCC met for dinner and a meeting at Mai Lan Restaurant in Honolulu. We had an excellent meal, served family style of course! Pictured here is a dish of curried crab legs. We also enjoyed several other courses consisting of local Kahuku shrimp, sprouts and greens, spiced chicken and beef, and noodles. It was a positive meeting and experience with friends as well as new members. We also discussed upcoming events such as Earth Day, fundraising, and future meetings.
