Banán x Hawaii Banana Source  

We met Gabe Sachter-Smith of Hawaii Banana Source in 2017. Gabe is an expert, scientist and enthusiast of all things banana. When Gabe isn't farming, he can often be found going on expeditions around the world to aid in research and discovery of undiscovered banana varieties. In return for helping fund a banana nursery, Gabe now grows us certified organic bananas of a variety commercially unavailable in the US – the Gros Michel variety. Why is his nursery important for Hawaii's future? Well, if you're a farmer looking to plant bananas and successively harvest them its not necessarily easy to find 1,000 disease-free baby banana plants through the coconut wireless. Hawaii Banana Source's nursery will work to do so.

FARM-TO-TABLE

Supporting local creates a more sustainable future for Hawaii.

Hawaii is a place like no other, and its unique geography and climate make it the perfect place to grow a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and other crops. However, Hawaii's imports more than 80% of its food. That's why we're dedicated to sourcing from Hawaii's farmers, not only because it reduces our carbon footprint, but also because it stimulates our local economy. By buying locally sourced food, you're not only getting the freshest possible product, you're also supporting Hawaii's farmers and helping to create a more sustainable future for our island.

Closing the loop with our food scraps.  

Food waste is the single largest component of waste in American landfills. Rather than simply throw away our waste Banán closes the loop by giving all of our food waste to farms and schools to be used as animal feed and vermicast. Learn more about the zero waste school initiative we provide food waste to at zerowasteschoolhui.org.
