Join Slow Food Oʻahu for this farm tour. In traditional times, Heʻeia, represented one of the most extensive areas of wetland taro cultivation on Oʻahu. Through the mid-1930s, the Heʻeia wetlands were a thriving agricultural landscape, producing volumes of kalo, a nutrient-dense dietary staple for Hawaiians, and creating opportunities for social and economic advancement for the families of Heʻeia and Kāneʻohe. Since 2010, Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi has restored productivity to approximately six acres of loʻi kalo (irrigated terraces for the production of kalo) and has cleared an additional twenty acres for mala (dryland) for diversified agriculture. Space is limited; reservation required. More info: Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi Community Farm 2025 – Tickets and Slow Food O’ahu
