A Farmer Network, working to support small and beginning family farmers in maui nui.
The Maui Family Farmer Training Network is an organization aiming to foster solidarity among family farmers and gardeners through engaging in integrative education, inclusive hands-on farm help days, and connection to others in our community committed to regenerative agricultural abundance. We envision a Maui which is food secure through a strongly woven network of family farm agricultural producers. We provide Farm Support Services, Farmer Navigational Coaching, a Shared Tool Library, and hold regular online Educational Sessions on a variety of topics.
Farmer Networking In Action
Our Farmer Network encompasses all levels of participants no matter where you’re starting or how far you want to go, from utter beginners to those seeking high levels of mastery in specialized niches.

“This is my 2nd time working with Georgia and Dr. Phyllis in a Farm coaching program. They are so wonderful and have helped me SO much that I came back for more! They have helped me and continue to help me take my farm operations to the next level! They really care about the people they work with and have a strong passion for the ‘āina and helping to educate and guide us to steward this sacred land. I cannot begin to express my appreciation to these amazing humans!”
