We'd like to honor the immediate Wai'anae area this month & host two vital members of our community, Aunty Twinkle Borge and James Pakele. Both serving Pu'u'honua, the remarkable Wai'anae Boat Harbor Homeless Camp. Aunty Twinkle is the leader of this inspirational community, and we are grateful for her presence this September.

We are right on around the corner from our annual state convention happening on October 6th-8th, here in Wai'anae, O'ahu! This three-day event will include opportunities to learn about regenerative agriculture, from local and international experts, including presentations and hands-on workshops.
This is a historic moment for Hawai'i Farmers Union United, as it has been eleven years since a chapter has become chartered by the National Farmers Union. We will be receiving a charter from the National Farmers Union during this event! We ask that you support this forward momentum in any way that you can—either by attending the convention, sponsoring our educational workshops, or advocating HFUU's mission of supporting prosperous agricultural communities across Hawai'i.
