  • 9:00 am - 9:30 am - Hoʻolauna (greeting and lesson of the day)

NOTE: They ask that all participants be present and ready to work by 9:00 am so their crew can start the workday on time. We understand schedules vary so please let us know prior to the event if you need to make other arrangements.

A few things to consider to make your day successful:

  • We are a working farm. Growing kalo can be arduous work and the mud is deep. Stay hydrated and expect the possibility of full sun exposure or rain. Weather can fluctuate.

  • Be prepared to encounter nature. The loʻi is located in a natural wetland, home to many critters such as frogs, fish, birds and a few of our farm animals.

NOTE: All participants must sign the liability waiver before participating in any event. A parent MUST complete the waiver for all participants under the age of 17.

What to bring:

  • Wear old clothes (we recommend gals wear a bathing suit under their clothes for easy cleanup)

  • Towel

  • Change of clothes

  • Water bottle

  • Hat

  • Plastic bag (for wet clothes & towel)

  • SIGNED WAIVER if online registration not completed
