I may be helping a dear friend of mine from Vava’u with a project on his land. I come from Hawaii and try to eat only organic food, mostly vegetables. I am now caring for him on Tongatapu in Fatai, but he may be trying to grow some interesting vegetables on his land in Vava’u fairly soon. A friend of his from Hwaii may come to help as he helped to start a similar project in Hawaii that really took off and became one of the first 100% organic farms in Hawaii. I think it would be good to meet up with those in your program to see how we could possibly share, maybe just seeds and ideas for growing.
