Final Day - Eat Local Maui Challenge | Sunny Savage

“We don’t need revolutionaries, we need solutionaries.”

– Alixa Garcia

Over 160 solutionaries stepped up to participate in the Eat Local Maui Challenge, that’s over 160 people who know that if we want to change something we have to be that change and it’s been an honor to walk alongside my fellow participants. I hope you all see the delicious opportunities ahead!

This was my 30th day eating 100% of my foods from the Hawaiian Islands and the day was marked by my first pigeon pea harvest in the garden. I had hoped they’d come in a bit earlier for the challenge, but we go with the seasonal flow. Am rejoicing in no longer having to write down everything I eat, along with photos and videos and social media, as that was far more time consuming than actually eating local!
