Algood Farm
Green Building and Book Art Workshop
Hawi, February 8th
2-5pm
Green Rural Life with a spectacular ocean view
Multiple green built materials and structures grace 32 acres at The Algood Farm in Hawi. Highlight is a wonderful bamboo 'barn' residential scale structure with beautifully finished clay walls. This is a permitted architectural jewel that provides luxurious green living.
The designer/ owners describe their farmstead as "a sustainable oasis on the northern tip of the island. Our buildings are made of environmentally friendly materials and we create all our own electric energy. We raise organic chickens, bananas, herbs and vegetables and have planted over 500 coconut and other trees on our land."
The ocean and Maui-view farm uses interior and exterior natural and green materials in some very exciting ways.
February 8th Tour is 2-3pm and will showcase multiple building materials and methods to green your home.

Hi'ilani EcoHouse
Honoka'a, March 8th
Tour 2-4pm
Culinary workshop 12-2pm
The fascinating Hi'ilani EcoHouse is our tour site on March 8th in Honoka'a. Built by two sustainability-minded couples who joined forces with an inventive designer, the house employs special green building materials to conceive and build a dramatic perch overlooking the Pacific. This 4,000 square foot carbon-neutral home is worth a journey from around the island to see its innovative materials, structural design, interior finishing, energy efficiency, and green living concepts.
Tamale Magic We have a culinary experience to share! We'll be hosting a tamale making workshop using organic grains and foods from noon-2pm preceding the workshop. Yum! Workshop fee is $25 and includes all ingredients to take home four tamales. And if you can't join us for the workshop, we'll be selling tamales as a Greenshool fundraiser during the tour.
