Grounded in the spirit of the Big Island — where land, sea, and people are one.

🌺 Mission

To build a living community of ohana helping ohana — connecting and empowering Big Island residents in agriculture, creative arts, book writing, web development, app development, marketing, and local innovation.

We exist to share knowledge, create opportunities, support local talent, and uplift one another through collaboration, respect, and service — while honoring the land that feeds us and the culture that shapes us.

🌊 Vision

To see the Big Island flourishes as a self-supporting, creative, skill-sharing ohana network, where:

• Local knowledge is preserved and passed forward
• Youth are mentored by experience
• Farmers, creators, builders, and dreamers work together
• Technology supports tradition — not replace it
• Success is measured by how many we lift, not how many follow

A future where the Big Island becomes a model of unity, sustainability, and shared growth for other island communities around the world.
