We were the anchor host today to the new Upcountry Sustainability Group’s inaugural farm tour series. 21 members (all upcountry residents) toured three farms today culminating in a brown bag lunch and farm tour at O’o. We met locals who share a passionate in all sustainable related topics. Ashlie McLean is involved with the Haliimaile Community Gardens and is focused on local organic foods as well as establishing a “Slow Food” chapter on Maui. Health “guide-ess” Laurel white offers retreats oriented to well being and health. Filming and interviewing took place for the groups web page and possibly Akaku T.V.
