Mālama da Farmer Grantee: Richard Kodani

Meet Richard S. Kodani – Aloha Mālama Da Farmer Grant Awardee! Farming since 1977, Richard’s passion for agriculture started with chrysanthemums and now flourishes in growing traditional canoe crops like kalo, ʻolena, and ʻulu in Pāhoehoe Ahupuaʻa, Hawaiʻi. With this grant, he’ll expand food production, protect his farm from feral pigs and theft, and share his crops with the local community.
