Part 4/9:
As we walked through his enchanting sanctuary, Greg demonstrated a deep-rooted connection to the land. He lives off the grid, drawing sustenance from his surroundings—growing fruits, vegetables, and raising livestock. His meals often consist of ingredients harvested from the very place he calls home, along with essential items sourced from the supermarket. Witnessing his lifestyle echoes the idea of sustainability—living in harmony with nature while ensuring that traditional practices are not lost to time.
On that day, Greg prepared a meal with locally foraged ferns, a symbol of traditional Hawaiian cuisine. With a mixture of pride and humility, he shared how his family’s way of life reflects that of their ancestors.
