The Kilauea Community Agricultural Center has been AHK’s main project and its roots started more than 20 years ago, with farmers and community members wanting to diversify the economy.
The KCAC grows more than 30 kinds of vegetables, fruits and cut flowers and members subscribe, pay a fee and receive their box of local produce weekly.
The list of produce is growing, however, and since the beginning of 2018 organizers have been exploring the production of four new crops — breadfruit, fodder, hemp and pongamia.
