The Homestead

In Hawaiʻi, we know how important it is to be prepared for anything. Living on an island means that when a disaster affects our roads, power, ports, or supply chains, access to everyday necessities can change quickly.

  After what our community has just experienced, the importance of being prepared, preserving and making the most of what we have feels especially meaningful💛.

  Learning how to preserve food is a way to reduce waste, extend the life of local and seasonal produce, build a healthy more self-reliant pantry, and pass valuable knowledge on to our keiki and ‘ohana. And it’s fun. It’s an old-fashioned skill that still has a very real place in this modern day.

  That’s what makes these Masterclasses so special. You’re not just learning how to make something delicious — you’re learning a practical skill you can continue using forever, while supporting and being a part of an even stronger, more prepared island community…
