ʻĀINA Farm Stand Community Turmeric Dye Bath

Celebrate the ʻĀINA Farm Stand’s second anniversary, and give old clothing a fresh new life! Join us at the ĀINA Farm Stand on November 14 from 10am-1:30pm for a Turmeric Dye Bath!

Bring your natural fiber clothing and learn how simple plant-based dye techniques can completely transform pieces you already own. Made with dehydrated ʻōlena (turmeric) from the Kōkua Learning Farm, this process dyes natural fibers a brilliant yellow.

It’s a creative reminder that sometimes our favorite “new” clothes are already hanging in our closet. Bring a clean item made from natural fibers to dye, like:

  • Cotton
  • Linen
  • Hemp
  • Canvas
  • Silk
  • Wool

$5.00 donation per item dyed, with 100% of proceeds supporting Kōkua Hawai’i Foundation. We kindly ask you to bring no large or dense items to dye, such as bedsheets, towels, or sweatshirts.

Please arrive by 1:30 pm to allow for adequate time for the dyeing process.

When: Saturday, November 14 from 10:00 am-1:30 pm

Where:ʻĀINA Farm Stand, 66-249 Kamehameha Hwy
