Maui Hub encourages support of local farmers at Rotary event, Sept. 11

The Rotary Club of Kīhei-Wailea will hear from Maui Hub’s general manager Brandi Sagon, and Autumn Ness, director of the Hawaiʻi Organic Land Management Program of Beyond Pesticides. The two will share information about Maui Hub and the importance of supporting local farmers, the economy and community.

The speaking event will take place on Sept. 11 at 11:45 a.m. at the Kīhei Lutheran Church, located at 220 Mōʻī Place in North Kīhei.

The Maui Hub is a nonprofit online farmers market. Ness is a community organizer and policy analyst around sustainable agriculture, pesticide use and organic farmer support/advocacy. She supports fundraising, communications and growth strategies for the hub, connecting us to the larger county and state-wide local food and agriculture movements.
