The Garden Island Range & Food Festival (GIRFF) is this Sunday at Kilohana Plantation. It’s the ultimate locavore paina (party) in which the restaurants, ranchers and farmers of Kauai donate their time and product for a family friendly community event.

The food at GIRFF is hyper-local because nothing comes from more than 34 miles away. This year, we have had the pleasure to be on the committee, me as farm chairperson, and Dan as treasurer. We have been donating our time and talents since January to the non profit event that benefits students in the Culinary Arts Program at the Kauai Community College. Continue Reading →
