NOHO’ANA FARM

Nohoʻana Farm is a documentary told through the voices of father and son, a decade apart, honoring 20 years at Nohoʻana Farm in Waikapū, Maui. Once overgrown, the land was revived by the Pellegrino ʻohana and community into a living classroom and stronghold of Hawaiian agriculture. Through archival and new interviews, the film highlights how food sovereignty and ancestral connection inspire the next generation of mahiʻai and leaders.
