We are also looking for recipe contributors.  If you have a favorite local recipe, that is 100% local, and you want to share it, please email it to me and I will compile a booklet for folks attending the seed exchange.  I will be asking for financial contributions to cover the cost of the printing and I will happily give you the credit for your contribution by attaching your name to the recipe if you want.  Please contact me, Tracy, for more information.

Location: Laakea Community. Go south on the HWY past Pahoa, past Leilani, turn right on Alaili just past the 14 mile marker, follow the signs to veer right up our driveway. Carpool!
