The Kauai Community College Office of Continuing Education and Training, Room 106, will be the site of a free session, “Farm Dreams,” 5:30 p.m. Feb. 4.

O’Brien will be a featured presenter, discussing an update of KCC’s agricultural programs and offering information on upcoming GoFarm Kauai training at the college in March and April.
Farm Dreams will include Jerry Ornellas of Jerry’s Farm, Tim O’Conner of Olana Farm, Lisa Fuller of One Song Farm and Ned Whitlock of Moloaa Organica Farm.
Steven Chiang, director of Agribusiness Incubator Program and representative of GoFarm Hawaii, will offer an overview of the GoFarm program intiative.
