OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 8: E'IMI:E'IMI NA'AUAO MAI UKA A I KAI accurately encapsulates our entire mission. The very center of our being yearns for the mountain and the ocean for our very sustenance. We will be taking all those who come along for the journey back into the past and catapult them into the future. Mauka beholds the ancient ruins of terraces that yielded enough crops to feed all of Lahaina. Those terraces have since been restored to its natural beauty and intended use. We are restoring water flow in Kahoma that will keep our taro patches flourishing. We have also placed priority on the ocean fronting Lahaina. Much of the reef life has been adversely affected, so we have initiated the limu restoration, with focus on what caused the damage and how to repair that. The taro patches need constant maintenance to keep the brush back and to clear all pipes of debris to insure water flow. We were able to achieve our charitable purpose through: training sails, maintenance of the wa?a and escort boat, continued education and training in each field.Our ultimate goal is to connect the community to a place on the west side of the island to serve as a template that they can individually take back to their respective community.We continue to perpetuate all things Hawaiian and endeavor to collaborate with other active leaders in their craft. Preparing the keiki with strategies to sail, maintaining kalo in Kaloma to the composition of our very own mele for our wa'a. Community members near and far call on us to offer their level of expertise or to employ our ideas and efforts.

OTHER PROGRAM SERVICES 11: Steelgrass Farm, LLC. DBA Lydgate Farms:Farming Support Grant: Kauai agriculture has never recovered from the loss of sugarcane and pineapple. Production of food crops has steadily declined as the modern era progresses and cheap mainland produce is readily available to consumers. However, local agricultural production is vital as it preserves natural resources and creates a basis for food self-sustainability. Lydgate Farms creates value-added products from its crops: cacao, vanilla, honey, coffee. Lydgate Farms is working to improve this self-sustainability by creating a market for local grown green vanilla beans. Lydgate Farms is currently engaged in a grant funded project called The Lydgate Farms Vanilla Partnership Program. Funds distributed by INCF were used as matching funds in this grant. The grant revolves around a project being conducted at Lydgate Farms which constitutes the first modern scientific vanilla research in the Hawaiian islands. The $25,000 in grant funds processed through INCF were used to support creating two raised and covered lanais that we used to improve the capacity of our tour program. Through grant funds we permitted, laid the foundations for, and hand built these structures. These structures are now in use, and have helped us increase our revenue. Increased revenue is invested back into the staff and farm to create growth in our agricultural industry.
