On my recent trip to Maui, I had the opportunity to attend a Slow Food workday at Noho’ana Farm. The Slow Food group worked the lo’i, or taro/kalo field, learning everything about how it’s planted, harvested, and used to eat. It was the perfect place to learn, since it’s run by Hoku’ao Pellegrino, a young man who teaches kids from all over the state everything about everything to do with taro.
I was so intrigued with Hoku’ao and his farm, I shot about 200 photos and several 10-minute video segments. In the interest of time, we distilled my visit down to 5 minutes in this video:
