Pā‘ina on Pier 38

September 30, 2014

Kamehameha Schools recently hosted Pā‘ina on Pier 38, a private Hawaii Food and Wine Festival event that cultivated new partnerships between farmers and food industry pros.

The pā‘ina attracted more than 350 food buyers, chefs and business owners eager to learn about locally sourced produce and products. Several Kamehameha Schools farmers showcased their products at the pāʻina including Ken Hirata, who produces sweet potato shochu in Haleʻiwa, and the ranchers of Hawaii Lowline Cattle Co. on Hawaiʻi Island.

This event aligns with KS’ Strategic Agricultural Plan that guides the stewardship of over 180,000 acres of agricultural land statewide. To learn more about how Kamehameha Schools supports local farmers and the agricultural industry, visit www.ksbe.edu/land.
