Aloha and welcome to Kona Salt Farm!
Living on an island makes us acutely aware of the importance of reducing waste that goes into our landfills. By making conscious choices to reduce, reuse, and recycle, we can significantly lessen our environmental impact and help preserve the natural beauty of our island for future generations. We are delighted to host your upcoming event and kindly ask for your kōkua (assistance) in incorporating eco-friendly practices into your event planning. Here are some ways you can help:
Mālama ‘Āina: Care for the Land
When planning your event at Kona Salt Farm, we encourage you to consider our talented local chefs who are deeply connected to and supportive of our local farmers. These chefs prioritize sustainable practices and take great care in sourcing the freshest ingredients directly from our island’s farms. By choosing to work with them, you not only support our vibrant community but also provide your guests with a unique farm-to-salt farm experience that honors and cares for our ‘āina (land).
Hānai ‘Āina: Nourish the Land
Eco-Friendly Catering
- Local and Organic: Whenever possible, choose locally-sourced and organic food and beverages. This supports our local farmers and reduces the carbon footprint of your event.
- Reusable Dishware: Please consider reusable dishware, utensils, and napkins. We are happy to provide information on sourcing these eco-friendly alternatives to minimize single-use items.
Pua ‘Āina: Flourish the Land
Sustainable Decor
- Local Florals: Please consider native and locally-sourced flowers for your event decor. This not only supports local businesses but also reduces the environmental impact of importing non-native plants.
- Natural Decorations: Consider decorations made from natural, local, reusable, or recycled materials.
Pili ‘Āina: Respect the Land
Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
- Recycling: We provide recycling bins throughout the venue. Please help us by disposing of recyclables properly.
- Glassware: Please use our glass washer to clean and reuse glassware instead of opting for single-use plastic cups. This small act significantly reduces waste and supports our sustainability efforts.
Ho‘omaika‘i: Blessings and Gratitude
At Kona Salt Farm, we believe in the mutual spirit of aloha and ‘ohana (family). We kindly ask that you treat every single member of our team with the same respect and politeness that embody these values. Our team is dedicated to providing you with exceptional service and ensuring your event is a memorable experience. By showing appreciation and courtesy to us, you help foster a positive and harmonious atmosphere that reflects the true essence of aloha.
