For Lehia Apana, organic farming is an act of cultural reverence. Lehia approaches farming her land at Polipoli Farms from a Native perspective, following the generations of Native Hawaiians before her who were master agriculturalists feeding themselves and their communities with island resources. Visit Polipoli Farms with her and learn about the financial and community support she received from the CCOF Foundation Future Organic Farmers program that allowed her to follow her calling and participate in organic farming courses rooted in Hawaiian traditions.
Help us support more organic farmers like Lehia.
