Jesse grew up in Oahu, Hawaii. Laura moved to the Big Island when she was 18, knowing, no one. We found each other randomly in Hilo in August of 2005 and have been together ever since. We started learning about the agriculture two years after we met and have been avid natural / organic gardeners ever since. We concentrate not in production of food but more so in enhancing the soil and the life that resides within. We spend our time providing the best environment for our soil microbes and earthworms. In doing so, our garden is full of veggies and pest are occasional. We want to help others do the same. One of our favorite quotes is by Richard Bach, "Learning is finding out what you already know. Doing is demonstrating that you know it. Teaching is reminding others that they know it just as well as you." Ultimately, we want to help others grow food and understand why it is important! Learn with us, grow with us! Creating Opportunities for Education to Inspire Change. "No Spray"
