Mary and I got up bright and early this morning and headed over to the Haven Farm at Pearl City High School to visit with Brian Walker who manages the Haven Farm and is also a part-time teacher at PCHS.

We were greeted by Haven Farm community volunteers who were hard at work clearing out cane grass and weeds. Brian came up an gave us an update of the crops growing at the Haven Farm and the compost mound that is rising under the sun from PCHS green and food waste.

The Haven Farm is thriving with a variety of plants and vegetables: ti leaf, flowers, avocado trees, papaya trees, okra, tomatoes, broccoli, peppers, egg plant, zucchini, and red cabbage all being blessed by beautiful white butterflies that floated and danced in and out of the garden,

It was really nice to meet Brian’s wife Amy who was at hard work tending to the plants in the Haven Farm greenhouse.

It was an inspiring visit to the Haven Farm on Saturday and looking forward towards seeing future crops of corn and pumpkins sprout, grow, and shared upon its Harvest.
