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. Please check the items under the "news" column to view the new direction this organization is looking to move towards.

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 open to the public and often have a minimal cost.  To view a complete description of an event click on the event in the upcoming events box at left or go to the events listing page.

Our web site will have more information added over time. Please stay tuned as we develop this resource.
