Moho Kitchen

The proposed ADA-compliant facility will provide certified cooking space, packaging and labeling equipment, and a value-added processing area for activities such as canning, preserving, and preparing grab-n-go meals. A classroom will provide space for workshops covering topics such as general excise tax licensing, food handling and processing, nutrition, and culinary arts.

This new certified kitchen will support Puna’s diverse food producers and entrepreneurs—which include farmers, ranchers, aquaculturists, and food truck vendors—to start, sustain, or expand their local businesses through high quality training and strong community support. 

All in all, our aim is to nurture a sense of community and belonging within our disparate residents, create a microsource of healthy and local foods, promote community inclusiveness, while supporting our local economy.
