The Kava Kafe hosted the after party for North Kohala Eat Locally Grown Day. Groovy music from Echo Village and local kava from Richard Benton and Starseed Ranch.

North Kohala Eat Locally Grown Day was on Sat, Jan 16, 2010. An initiative that came out of the North Kohala Food Forum (www.nkfoodforum.com), restaurant owners Joan Channon (Bamboo), Karen Rosen (Kohala Coffee Mill), Peter Pomeranze (Sushi Rock) and farmer Tom Baldwin (Uluwehi Farms) wanted to feature local, North Kohala grown food in their restaurants as a way to raise community awareness about our locally grown foods and create new connections with local farmers.

The initial idea grew to include other local restaurants, the Hawi Farmer’s Market and Takata’s Store.

These are scenes from the Hawi Farmer’s Market on North Kohala Eat Locally Grown Day.

Bamboo, Sushi Rock, Kohala Coffee Mill, Luke’s Place, Kava Kafe, Pico’s, Fig’s Mixed Plate, Snack Shack, Hawi Farmers Market, Takata’s
