点评:Kelsey was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide to the variety of projects of Waipa which include shore and fish pond restoration, management of invasive and planting of native plants for best land management, harvesting of taro, and we enjoyed delicious treats curated by onsite chef Seneca, which included: banana bread, fresh starfruit, papaya, salads, sautéed shrimp, seasoned taro cakes, and delicious island famous thistle tea and "cheese" cake made from local ingredients from the farm. Most importantly we were guided to understand more about Hawaiian culture and needs of local community, and how the farm supports these. I loved knowing they have lots of educational opportunities for children of all ages, and adult students seeking a greater understanding of farming and land management on Kauai and of cultural practices that are core and integral to its success. You can plan to come to volunteer -4th Saturdays are open to community for those wanting to get hands working on site. Mahalo Nui !
翻译:凯尔西是一位出色且知识渊博的向导,她带领我们了解了怀帕农场的各种项目,包括海岸和鱼塘修复、入侵植物治理和本地植物种植以实现最佳土地管理、芋头收割等等。我们还品尝了由农场主厨塞内卡精心准备的美味佳肴,包括:香蕉面包、新鲜杨桃、木瓜、沙拉、炒虾、调味芋头饼,以及用农场当地食材制作的美味岛屿特色蓟茶和“奶酪”蛋糕。更重要的是,凯尔西引导我们更深入地了解了夏威夷文化和当地社区的需求,以及农场如何支持这些需求。我很高兴地了解到,农场为各个年龄段的孩子和希望更深入了解考艾岛农业和土地管理以及对农场成功至关重要的文化习俗的成年学生提供了丰富的教育机会。欢迎大家来做志愿者——每月第四个星期六,农场对社区开放,欢迎大家来农场亲身参与。非常感谢!
