I bought 3 Acres in Hawaiian Acres on the Big Island during the pandemic for $38,000. I hope to one day have a little fa on it with a house and a barn.

@10:42 LOL! Ironic and sad. Poi is very expensive in the super market. A small plastic bag is $8 to $10. Crazy! Hawaiian food is also pretty pricey. I watched another video of Bobby's. He is a true kanaka. Super wise. I'm going to fly to Maui one day from Oahu to check out his farm. Would love to see it and meet him.

10:40...that's true in each "developed" country! Here in France you can buy apples imported from south america, and our fruit-farmers here struggles to sell their production! What's wrong with us??? Eat products which are LOCAL, SEASONING, ORGANIC AND WHOLE ! Keep up this great program! Kind regards from France.

I have an ornamental taro plant in my living room and this dude made me feel v. emotional about it

[@timothyblazer1749]

I'm a gardener, and I grow in the middle desert. This place looks like paradise compared to the challenges of my area :-) Farming is different. I've worked on farms, so I know how's it can be. However there are methods that you can take from botany and horticulture to improve yield, and reduce work. The issue is profitability. People starting on a shoe string trade time for capital. They them have established patterns of work that they are reluctant to change, or if they want to scale up, they use standard practices because they need to get loans and insurance to obtain capital, and it is hard to do that if you are not doing it the standard, capital intensive automated way. It's a bit of a puzzle. But I think there is enormous potential in Hawaii for self sustainability.

[@silviaxu3533]

[@JoseAntonio-tt2mb]

Good morning have you any plant of blue java banana for sale me?

[@krushirang9296]

I am Student of Agriculture and want to for internship there

[@austinhenning2844]

Did you apply?

[@kookaburrakookaburra]

Something not being mentioned here is money, you’ll need a lot of money, and it should have been mentioned.

[@GoFarmHawaii]

Yes, absolutely! Thank you for your input. We also wanted to focus on other challenges that farmers face, as money is always an issue for most small businesses.

[@RottenInDenmarkOrginal]

This was a year ago....wonder how these people are doing after the disaster that Ige created by his lockdown/quarantine crap!

[@GoFarmHawaii]

We're glad you asked! A lot of our farmers were actually thriving during the lockdowns due to low inventory from the mainland. So in a sense, it helped push the local economy to be more local centric and support our local farmers. Mahalo for your concern! :)

[@RottenInDenmarkOrginal]

@@GoFarmHawaii I've always buy local when I can, especially produce! It's good to hear you all have taken a positive spin on the situation. Mahalo Nui Loa! Aloha!

[@nagasako7]

Hawaii farms will never be able to compete with mainland. What Hawaii should do is management water resources, surface resovoirs for farmers so Hawaii can sell in summer when places like California dry up into a desert.
