Join us for the Super Soil Health Symposium on Saturday, November 25, 2025, at HIP Agriculture Farm / Starseed Ranch in North Kohala. This full-day gathering brings together farmers, gardeners, educators, and community members to explore practical, regenerative approaches to caring for Hawaiʻi’s soils. From morning workshops to evening music, the day will blend hands-on learning with connection and celebration.
Participants will engage with experts from UH Mānoa’s College of Tropical Agriculture and Human Resources (CTAHR) and local practitioners sharing knowledge on building soil fertility, integrating sustainable practices, and strengthening local food systems. The evening will close with ʻawa, live music, and space to reflect, share stories, and deepen relationships across our growing community of land stewards.
