Know Your Farmer Alliance - Big Island Hawai`i
Welcome to our web site!
Know Your Farmer Alliance (KYFA) is a grassroots educational and activist group of farmers, gardeners and others interested in ecological food production and local self-sufficiency on Hawai'i Island.
We know that a strong community is as self-sufficient as possible and cares for its land and people with a passion. Pure, fresh, local and naturally grown food is our birthright and our vision. There is much to learn from each other and all are welcome.
Our Events are fun, informative, educational and open to the public and we keep the cost as low as possible - some events are free!
Check the News section for the latest news relevant to our mission, activities, critical issues and resources.
Our web site will have more information added over time. Please stay tuned as we develop this resource.
