Most people answer this question with a "no!"  In today's world, our food systems have become industrialized and globalized, our seeds have been hijacked by corporations who wish to control what is grown for human consumption and our crops are genetically modified mono-cultures where yield is valued more than nutrition.  Residents of a Kopali community wish to not only know where their food comes from, but also who is cultivating and caring for it.  

The journey of our food does not require 1,000's of miles of transportation and endless amounts of water, petroleum and chemical fertilizers to bring it from the field to the plate.  Our food is lovingly grown and naturally raised throughout the community by a team of experienced farmers and gardeners.  These men and women have been working the soil, caring for the land and planting our food since 2006!  We have 100's of varieties of fruits, vegetables, roots, teas, nuts, herbs and medicinals already in the ground - including 60 varieties of bananas!  Naturally raised chickens will provide eggs and meat.  Goats milk and cheese will also be available.  Our advanced Permaculture design includes an aqua-culture pond system, allowing for several varieties of edible freshwater fish, shrimp and clams.  By producing and consuming food locally, we greatly reduce our carbon footprint and can enjoy food with integrity and made with love!
