Hue Hue Farm
home of the Fukushima Kids Project
is inviting friends and neighbors to participate in our
Community Garden Project
We are providing place and infra structure for a
permaculture/food forest farm
that engages people as independent individuals
while fine-tuning systems of mutual support.
Creating resources and an inspiring environment for
children is one of our most important intentions.
What we offer :
A place for people to grow food and medicinal plants
Soil, amendments, and water for conscientious use
A healthy environment for meaningful physical activity
Initial advise, and a network of allies with who to exchange information and coordinate plans.
Workshops -- Experts in various aspects of permaculture will share their
knowledge.
Antonio is already conducting
vegetation management workshops
hosted by participating gardeners and land stewards,
with practical methods for a peaceful and herbicide-free
relationship w/ nature.
Long-term options for HHF projects :
> Farm product marketing/networking
> Educational resources for kids -- the 'Green School' in Bali is one of the
reference points
> Development of cottage industry resources --
Herbal medicine is a prime focus. Hue Hue Farm hosts a large variety of important medicinal plants to be wildcrafted.
Gen and Yumi offer to share their wisdom as practitioners of ancient Japanese Healing Arts.
> Farm animals --
important
participants
to many
envisioned projects
like
education
soil building
fiber production
meadow maintenance
> Plant adoption program w/ Fukushima kids --
the local contact family for a visiting child presides over the planting of a fruit tree or other crop of choice, and adopts the planting spot after the child goes back to Japan.
What we hope for:
A solution to most of the world's problems -environmental, political, psychological etc- can only be found through a strengthening of community ties.
A society disillusioned and exhausted by concepts of individual freedom and economic growth can quickly recover its immune system by cultivating commitment and love.
As inhabitants of Hawaiian land, we wish to gather and apply ancient wisdom of the islands, reconcile our place, and help preserve the traditions.
Our Community Garden Project provides some essential ingredients that give participants a tangible beginning, a context from which to grow food, friendships, health, and feeling of belonging.
We hope to grow a vibrant community network, and learn from and support each other.
