2012 Bounty of He‘eia

September 11, 2012

Food and culture in  breath taking settings were served up again by Kamehameha Schools and its community partners as part of the 2012 Hawai'i Food and Wine Festival.  An encore Bounty of He'eia on KS owned land in windward O'ahu shared a more authentic Hawaiian cultural experience with both residents and visitors from outside Hawai'i.

Community partner Paepae o He'eia treated the guests to a tour of the working fishpond, a hands-on fish clearning activity and a ono poke bar.  Then the guests were transported up the valley to Papahana Kuaola for a tour of the lo'i, a turn at pounding kalo and then a sit down lunch with lau lau, poi, grilled beef, salad and dessert.
