June 05, 2021 | KHON
Five chefs participating in the Hawai’i Food & Wine Festival attended the groundbreaking and blessing ceremony for a new project called Chef’s Corner earlier this week.
Each chef gets a quarter-acre farm lot to say what they want grown on it.
When the harvest is ready, they will get first choice to buy what is grown in their own farm lot.
Farming will be done by Mahi Pono.

Corner include
- Roy Yamaguchi – HFWF co-founder and co-chair (Roy’s Kā’anapali, Humble Market Kitchin)
