On this weeks show, we visit Ma'o Organic Farms. Highly supported by the who's who in the food service industry in Hawaii, Ma'o boast to the be biggest diversified organic farm in Hawaii with a mere 25 acres. Next, we follow the recent harvest to Tiki's Grill & Bar in Waikiki where Executive Chef Kapo prepares two dishes using the signature Sassy Green mix and Arugula with Ahi and Poke.

Tikis Grill & Bar. A hip, open-air restaurant with a retro South Pacific design and experience, Tiki's Grill & Bar features a menu highlighting the flavors of the islands prepared in an open exhibition kitchen. The restaurant appeals to residents and visitors alike and draws the late-night crowd with live contemporary Hawaiian entertainment every evening.

These days, fresh seems to mean fresh off the plane from California; and local cannot guarantee that a Hawai`i farmer is using sustainable farm methods.
