The Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation gathered ingredients from 14 local farms to showcase the diversity of Hawaii’s agriculture at Wednesday’s Taste of Ag event held at the Hawaii State Art Museum. Chef Hiroshi Fukui, with the assistance of students from Waipahu High School’s culinary program, prepared a great array of dishes that highlighted the freshness and flavors of locally grown products.

Participating farms included Fat Law’s Farm, Ho Farms, Nozawa Farms, Kats Higa Farm, Keawa Nui Farms, Koguchi Farm, Kula Country Farms, Marine AgriFuture, Naked Cow Dairy, Nalo Farm, North Shore Aquafarm, Okabe Farm, Shinsato Farm and Wailea Agricultural Group.

With a number of somewhat heavy dishes served during the night, a light panna cotta was a welcomed end to the night. The icy crunch of the strawberry ice brought great flavor and much appreciated texture to a normally soft dessert.
