A Journey to the Big Island

Jai Ganesha!

Recently, the monks of the Siddhidatta Kulam all took a day-trip to Hawaii's Big Island in order to visit Kawamata Farms, who are successful owners and operators of a large greenhouse operation. Our monks have gone to learn some of their tips and tricks for growing vegetables in Hawaii.

The team get a tour through one of the green houses

Just after sunrise, our monks board one of our many small inter island planes

Then a ride from the airport out to the farm

A nice chance to see the result of the island\

s recent lava flows'

Time to learn!

Anyone who lives in Kauai will probably recognize these Kamuela Tomatoes

They have very large green houses

The hydroponic nutrient system is quite complicated to the untrained eye

Nutrients are mixed and pumped throughout the green house

A successful trip full of countless bit of knowledge for our own growing. Aum Namah Sivaya
