Initiatives we are passionate about

The Hawaiian ahupua’a is a water system we are committed to creating—one that the ancient Hawaiians used to sustain communities by harnessing the natural flow of water and resources. Ahupua’a (pronounced [əhupuˈwɐʔə]) refers to a traditional Hawaiian land division that encompasses a broad range of socioeconomic, geological, and climatic features. These divisions typically stretch from the mountains to the sea and include both watersheds and marine resources. The ahupua’a system was the primary organizational framework across the eight high islands of the Hawaiian archipelago, each containing a diverse range of natural resources. Managed within a complex social structure unique to each area, the belief was that each ahupua’a could meet the needs of its local population, with surplus for tribute and trade.

Farm-to-table Hawaiian cuisine showcases the island's rich agricultural heritage, offering fresh, locally sourced ingredients that highlight the vibrant flavors of the region. From succulent seafood caught in Hawaiian waters to tropical fruits like pineapple, papaya, and mango, every dish emphasizes the natural bounty of the islands. Locally grown vegetables, kalo, ulu, uala, ho'io and hand-picked herbs enhance traditional dishes such as poke, lomi lomi salmon, and farm to table dishes, providing a genuine taste of Hawaiian culture. This approach not only supports local farmers and fishermen but also ensures that each meal is infused with the freshest, most sustainable ingredients available, delivering an authentic and delicious culinary experience.

At the heart of Roots Ohana are community spaces and the concept of Aloha ʻĀina—a deep respect for the land. In alignment with the property's development for the music festival, we are choosing to build permanent structures that harmonize with the natural environment, using sustainable materials like bamboo and hemp. These structures will create unique spaces for a variety of events, including musical performances, yoga retreats, camping experiences, healing sessions, and community gatherings, all designed to enhance and strengthen our community.
