we actively educate our communities about organic agriculture.
In collaboration with Maui County Farm Bureau, Gerry helped develop and implement an Agriculture in the Classroom program that reached into the classrooms of many of our islands grade schools.
We have hosted field trips from intermediate and high school classes and worked with high school teachers (through the Maui Economic Development Board) to teach them about agriculture and the opportunities it presents to young people.
We also offer courses on organic gardening and cover crops through the Maui Community College as part of the Hawaii Farmers Union United Farmer Apprentice & Mentoring Program.
