Our school Food Farm is about growing foods by kids for kids. Students at Waikiki School learn to love and protect our AINA, discover where food comes from, and learn to take pride in growing their own food.

3rd graders make bokashi
what's bokashi you ask? It's a mix of good bacteria and yeast that can be used in composting all kinds of food waste. this stuff works on meats, dairy, pasta, eggs-you name it! we used it, of course, for dealing with our school lunch waste. which brings up another question- why is their lunch waste at school's? we will have to get back to that.
anyway, the process is as follows:
day 1: prepare bokashi by mixing together mill run, molasses, and effective microorganisms (EM)-store in airtight containers
day 14: spread bokashi to dry in the sun for long term storage
day 15: use your bokashi to mix with food waste....
