Hi my name is Sophie and this is my mom, Routh and dad, Pascal. We live on the island of O'ahu on
the beautiful North Shore. My mom and dad work very hard and have dedicated their lives to creating Heaven on
Earth! They do that through our organic farm that we call "Alani Ono", The Full name of our Farm is Mai Ka Lani
Ono in Hawaiian that mean, "Deliciousness from the Heavens". Along the way we have had a few challenges, but
even so, we still keep going, wanting more than anything to create a model of organic living. So what is organic
living, well... from what I've seen, it's taking care of our earth, so that the earth takes care of us by giving us good
nutritious foods. It's also using materials that won't harm the earth, now or later. I think that is what people are
now calling "green" choices, but wait there's more; there's living in a sustainable so that we use the least
amount of resources and try to give back more goodness to our Mother; earth than we are taking.
We can do that in many different ways, but our goal on our farm is to eventually generate our
own electricity, collect and purify our own water, grow our own foods and build our house and buildings with green
materials that won't get us sick. When we demolish, we always try to re-purpose and re-use old materials so that
they don't end up in landfills.
Our organic farm is a work in progress and this is our family's story.
