Hawaiian Grown TV - Maui Onions - Kula Country Farms
Maui Onions have long been considered among the best and most flavorful onions in the world. The Maui Onion only grows in the deep red, volcanic earth on the upper slopes of Haleakala, Maui's world-famous dormant volcano.
Maui onions are a variety of sweet onion which are widely cultivated on the Hawaiian island of Maui, although they can be grown in other regions as well. Like other sweet onions, Maui onions lack the sulfur which causes the strong odor and sharp taste associated with onions. The State of Hawaii has invested a great of money in marketing their famous onion variety, putting it on par with Vidalia onions from Georgia, another sweet onion variety. Many markets carry Maui onions in season, along with other sweet varieties, and if you live in a temperate zone, you may be able to grow some yourself.
Hawaiian farmers claim that a true Maui onion must be grown on Maui, because this distinct onion cultivar flourishes best in the rich volcanic soil of Mount Haleakala, the dormant volcano which dominates the landscape of Maui. The volcano's rich, distinctive red soil may well be responsible for the distinctive sweet flavor of the Maui onion, although the warm weather on the island probably has something to do with it as well.
In addition to being very sweet, the Maui onion has a high water content, making it quite juicy. There are a number of ways to use these flavorful onions. Some people enjoy eating them raw out of hand, and they are also good when sliced thinly on salads, sandwiches, and other dishes. The onions can also be cooked, bringing out even more of the naturally sweet flavor; they are great grilled, and they can also be marinated with other vegetables for kebabs, included in stuffings, or used to make distinctive sauces.
Typically, Maui onions are among the first of the sweet onion varieties to be available in the spring, because the growing season on Maui starts early; start looking for them at around April. They have a rich golden yellow color and they typically grow in a slightly flattened shape; when seeking out onions in the store, check for soft spots, which can indicate that the Maui onion has gone bad.
Onions are tricky to grow. The Maui onion plants require long, warm days to set bulbs, and they are very responsive to impurities in the soil; if you have sulfurous soil, for example, the bulbs will pick it up as they grow. If you want to grow Maui onions, you can order seeds from Hawaiian farms or through your local garden store. Plant the onions in well fertilized soil after the last chance of frost, and keep the soil moist, but not wet, as the onions grow. They will start to set bulbs in warmer weather, and as the weather gets hot, the plants will begin to go dormant. Taper off your watering as the plants go dormant, and harvest the onions when their stalks have withered.

Keli'i Akina, Ph.D.
President/CEO, Grassroot Institute of Hawaii
With Opening Talks by
Mayor Alan Arakawa
Councilwoman Elle Cochran
With the imminent closing of the last sugar plantation on Maui, large-scale agriculture in Hawaii may soon become a distant memory — unless we work together to ensure that our aina is used productively.
Dr. Keli'i Akina, President and CEO of the Grassroot Institute of Hawaii, will give a presentation showing that 540,000 acres of crop and pastureland has been lost since 1980, and what we can do about it.
Mayor Alan Arakawa and Councilwoman Elle Cochran will give introductory talks, as we work together to find a path forward for agriculture on Maui.

Hawaii Hunting : 700,000 Acres?
First off, I'm not entirely against preservation and can understand its value. However, I am against entire preservation across the whole State or island.
Do hunters, on the Big Island, really have 700,000 acres to hunt? Is that the whole picture? Why are they even complaining with so much land?
The problem : We currently cannot keep game mammals anywhere on public land on the Big Island.
The solution : Figure out a way to keep them. Little to no work has been done on that. And the folks in charge have no will to do it in the face of other agendas or pressures.

Places to see in ( Maui - USA ) Kula
Places to see in ( Maui - USA ) Kula
Kula is a district of Maui, Hawaii, that stretches across the up-country, the western-facing slopes of Haleakalā, from Makawao to Ulupalakua. Most of the residential areas lie between about 500 to 1,100 m in elevation. The district has traditionally been where full-time residents prefer to live, as distinct from the generally hotter and busier, more tourism-oriented towns near sea level, such as Kihei and Lahaina. The population of the census-designated place (CDP) at the 2010 Census was 6,452.
The word Kula means open meadows in the Hawaiian language. On Maui Kula is one of the island's 12 foundation districts of ancient Hawaii called moku. Generally, Kula is a zone of arid earth with open country slopes between the inhabited and productive shoreline areas and the densely forested zone higher on the mountain.
The Kula district is the island's largest, extending from dry coastal areas to the wetter high pasture lands of three major ranches (Haleakala, Erewhon, and Ulupalakua) that cap the region about halfway up the slopes of Haleakala. It laterally extends from Keokea to near Makawao where the rainforest of East Maui once began.
In leeward areas, away from the prevailing moist tradewinds—called the rain shadow of Haleakala—the lower portion of Maui consists of a broad, arid expanse where little cultivation of the earth is possible. This zone consists of dry, desert-like open range just inland from the sea in artificially irrigated Kihei, and is covered with kiawe trees to an elevation of about 1,000 feet on the volcano's slopes.
Between this zone and the upper reaches of the hillsides, especially up steep Waipoli and Poli Poli Roads, broad, are open areas for vegetable and fruit crops. The moderate climate often yields as many as three or four harvests per year. When the territorial legislature first set up the political design in 1906, they decreed only two levels of government: state and county. Consequently, Hawaii's towns do not have specific boundaries or city limits. There are also no official district boundaries for Maui County elections.
The twisty Haleakala Highway, from its junction with Kula Highway in Pukalani, loosely defines the northern edge of Upper Kula. The upper road (Kekaulike Avenue), also known as State Highway 377, leads up through usually green pastures, silver eucalyptus tree groves (and Blue Jacaranda trees in late spring), contrasting to the sugarcane below. Where the road beyond Kula Lodge makes an abrupt upward tack to Haleakala National Park, the area known as Upper Kula surrounds Kekaulike Avenue. In less than five miles it descends the slope to rejoin the Kula Highway near Rice Park and heads south to Keokea.
Lower Kula lies between about 1,200 and 2,800 feet of elevation along the western flank of Haleakalā, the dormant volcano that dominates the island's landscape and is the foundation of Kula’s backdrop. Communities along the old Lower Kula Road with names like Pulehu, Waiakoa, Omaopio and Keokea each have unique history of ethnic settlement. In the late 19th century, Portuguese and Chinese immigrants, who fulfilled labor contracts with the sugarcane plantations, moved to this area. Later, Japanese farmers moved into the area for its fertile earth.

An Upcountry Maui Farm Welcomes Drought
The sun pounds down on our state, prolonging the drought, and crippling our agriculture. But dry conditions mean good news for a farm in upcountry Maui.
Ali'i Chang and Lani Medina Weigert ride around their three and a half acre farm. Chang's been a farmer for more than 40 years.
I was growing plants in the rainforest all my life, and when I bought this in 1990, I really didn't know what grows in this kind of drought area, said the 65-year-old Native Hawaiian farmer.
He eventually chose lavender, a plant native to the Mediterranean, Africa, and India. It made its way to upcountry Maui, thriving in warm, dry conditions while needing little water.
Beyond that, lavender doesn't require irrigation or pesticides. In this climate, it may very well be the perfect herb.

Fresh Durian for Thanksgiving Party on the Big Island of Hawaii
Here you can see us enjoying fresh Hawaiian grown durian. In fact, you'll see me biting into my first one.
We luckily found a farmer who's got a whole bunch of them. We thought we'd missed the durian season completely. But he should have them for the next month or so.
