Well Fed Ohana
Growing Your Own Food - Island Style
The Well Fed Ohana is a holistic approach to restoring a healthy life based on growing and eating our own food from the gift of the aina.
​
Our mission is to feed people experiencing homelessness and families facing poverty with healthy nutritious food that they grow themselves here in Hawai’i as part of restoring ‘food sovereignty’ to all of Hawaii’s Ohanas.
​
Each man will sit under his vine
and under his fig tree,
and no one will make them afraid...
