our website friends

Thank you to all these 30 countries for listening to our story in May!

We feel so blessed to have so many new friends from around the world that are supporting our efforts through watching our film. We are amazed at how may people in such diverse climate regions have taken the time to listen to our story. We thank them. It is humbling to consider someone from Saudi Arabia gave us almost a half hour of time. Kauai has got to be about the easiest place on earth to have success in creating a subsistence yard. Saudi Arabia; my guess is full food production in the backyard is a serious challenge there. We found this video below to show success is possible in a dry desert climate. This is a great story about what was made possible in Jordan.


With best wishes and maximum respect to our fellow humans on the other side of this big world. May you have much success in reclaiming the abundance of your land!!! Aloha from the team at Akamai Backyard!

Akamai Backyard is garden of ‘eating’

Home school project teaches sustainability
Akamai Backyard Outside Kitchen
It’s like the garden of Eden on steroids.

Taro, bananas, sugar cane. Mango, papaya, sweet potatoes. Eggplant, bitter melon, squash. Beets, asparagus, pigeon peas, and tomatoes. Dozens of herbs, native Hawaiian medicinal plants, even a cotton plant that, well, is more like a tree. Even some plants obtained in a seed exchange that nobody’s quite sure what they are.

It’s all in a one-third acre backyard in Kilauea that still has plenty of lawn, a … [read more]
