Huakaʻi to Reppun ʻOhana ʻĀina - Waiāhole, Koʻolaupoko - Sept. 17, 2012
|
On Monday, September 17, 2012, students of Kumu Lilikalā's Hawaiian Studies 490: Senior Seminar in Hawaiian Studies visited the Reppun ʻOhana's farm in Waiāhole, Koʻolaupoko, Oʻahu.
Paul Reppun - who maintains the farm along with his brother, Charlie - sat down with the students for an in-depth discussion about his family's farming practices, the history of water rights in Waiāhole, and energy and water conservation. After the discussion, Reppun led the student on a tour of his ʻohana's 10-acre property, of which approximately 3.5 acres are being used in food production. Said Reppun, "In general, the smaller your farm, the smaller your growing area, if all you got is a pot on your porch, then what you can produce per unit area, per square inch if you like, is higher. ʻCuz the smaller your garden the more you can produce per square inch. ... The smaller it is, the more intense it can be. So people say we don't have enough land to feed ourselves, no, you're not taking into account, into consideration, that intensity of farming. But, to do that, it takes attention. It takes time." |
