Aloha Kākou,

The HFUU State Convention is coming up fast: November 8, 9 & 10 in Central Maui. There will be numerous excellent presentations as well as breakfast, lunch, dinner offerings. Registration opens soon so watch for the early bird rate. The cost includes full access to all events and this will be a great opportunity to network with fellow HFUU members from across the State. Your Haleakala Chapter is sponsoring a tent specifically set aside for evening gatherings.
 
A couple of urgent needs:

  • The School Garden Program needs vermi-composting earthworms. If you have a source please contact Lehn Huff at msgn@hawaii.rr.com.
  • Farmer/chef Pakamon Britt needs trucks and helping hands to remove 300 papaya trees from her old farm on Saturday, 9/28. Contact: hfuu@hfuuhi.org

Our next chapter meeting is this Tuesday, September 24th in the cafeteria of Kalama Intermediate School on Makani Ave in Makawao. Doors open at 5:30. We will be starting as close to 6pm as possible.  
 
We have a culinary treat for you this month as our guest chef will be our own farmer/chef /HFUU Haleakala member Pakamon Britt.

Mãhalo Nui Loa,









John Dobovan

Haleakalã Chapter President
 
As always, this meeting is a locavore potluck, and we appreciate you bringing enough food for yourself and some to share, or making a generous contribution so your chapter can continue populating the amazing food table we are known for.

We want you to bring your farm fresh goodies, cuttings and seeds to swap at the produce swap table, the more we all bring, the more abundance there will be at our meetings, and the better our personal inventories of plant cultivars on our farms will be as well. 

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU! Look for the suggestion box by the door when you enter the meeting and let us know what you'd like to see happening at our meetings. Please think about topics you'd like to explore in breakout sessions at future meetings, write them down and let us know.

Mahalo to all of you for supporting this organization. We are the change we are waiting for. Let’s keep working together to make Maui the agriculture paradise it will be.
