Kokua Hawaii Foundation was honored to receive a Hero of Agriculture Award from the Agricultural Leadership Foundation of Hawaii at the 2010 Hawaii Agriculture Conference. Here’s what they had to say about us:
“KHF has a huge heart! Founded by Jack and Kim Johnson and run by a small dedicated and energetic staff with the support of hundreds of volunteers, KHF is helping to raise the next generation of healthy and caring citizens for Hawai’i. Their programs focus on health, fresh local foods in schools, school gardening and nutrition education, farm field trips, farmer and chef visits to schools, waste reduction, community outreach, and more!”
Congratulations to all the 2010 award recipients! See them here
As part of the conference, KHF hosted a session entitled “The Next Crop: Educating Youth to Become Farmers and Ag-literate Citizens.” Educators from across the state shared current activities and future plans for addressing the need to grow the next generation of Hawai’i's farmers and a citizenry supportive of sustainable local agriculture.

As a kick off to the Eat Local Challenge, 9 year old Duke Kenney and his assistant, Chef Ed Kenney, demonstrated how to prepare a 100% locally sourced meal that the entire family can make at home. Families from the entire Kalani complex converged at Waialae School’s dining hall to watch Duke prepare steak from Maui Cattle Co., pa’i'ai from Mana ‘ai, and lomi tomato from Ho Farms. Seasonings included Hawaiian sea salt, Frankie’s Waimanalo Peppercorn, Naked Cow Dairy butter and Oils of Aloha macadamia nut oil.
The event was also streamed live with 95 visitors logging in to watch Duke cook, one from as far as New York. Following the demo the audience got to taste Duke’s creation and was engaged in a lively Q & A with Duke and the children in the audience.
