Hawai’ian Agriculture
Heading to Maui next month? If you’re there on the first weekend of April, Road Trips Foodies, be sure to head to the lu’au grounds of Maui Tropical Plantation in Waikapu, Maui, Hawai’i (map) on April 6, 2013, for the annual Maui County Agricultural Festival.
The Maui County Farm Bureau along with the farmers, ranchers and other agriculturalists stage the fest to share agriculture’s vital role in the economy, environment, and lifestyle of Maui.
Here’s an event to talk “story” with the people who grow our food and their industry allies, to discover what agriculture means to our communities and to taste fresh flavors.
Among the offerings: Grand Taste Education (presented in partnership with Slow Food Maui) is the place where Maui’s farmers and chefs come together to showcase all that Maui has to offer. Chefs are on hand to offer cooking tips and techniques.
If you can’t make it this year, consider another: it’s always on the first Saturday in April.
