He mea maikaʻi nō hoʻi no kou hoʻokele waiwai kūloko.
Akā hiki i nā ʻohana he nui ke hoʻopaʻapaʻa ʻo ka manawa a me nā lilo o ka hele ʻana i kā lākou mau mākeke mahiʻai kūloko i kēlā me kēia pule he manawa a me ke kumu kūʻai.
ʻO ka mea pōmaikaʻi, aia nā koho ʻē aʻe e hoʻopakele iā ʻoe i ka manawa a me ke kālā, mai CSA (community supported agriculture), i nā hui hui, e hālāwai me kahi mahiʻai kūloko.
Inā ʻike ʻoe i ke olakino a makemake ʻoe e kūʻai i ka meaʻai kiʻekiʻe, a laila hiki ke hoʻolilo i kāu mau kālā meaʻai ma nā mahiʻai liʻiliʻi hiki ke kōkua iā ʻoe e mālama kālā.
No laila he aha ka mea e pono ai ke ʻai ma ka ʻāina? ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi ma mua o kou manaʻo. E heluhelu e aʻo i kekahi mau ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo maʻalahi no ka loaʻa ʻana o nā meaʻai kūloko i kāu meaʻai.

He aha ka manaʻo o ka ʻai kūloko?
Ke ʻai ʻoe i ka meaʻai mai ka poʻe mahiʻai a me nā kahu hānai, ʻaʻole wale ʻoe e aʻo i kahi e hele mai ai kāu meaʻai, akā loaʻa pū ʻoe i ka ʻike e pili ana i ka ulu ʻana a me ke ʻano o ka hānai ʻana i nā holoholona.
Akā he aha ka mea i manaʻo ʻia he "local"?
He nui ka poʻe i wehewehe i ka "local" i ka ʻai ʻana i ka meaʻai i hānai ʻia a ulu i loko o 100 km mai kahi āu e noho ai.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokō maʻalahi i kēia ma ke kipa ʻana i nā mākeke o ka poʻe mahiʻai, kūʻai pololei mai nā mahiʻai kūloko, a me ke koho ʻana i nā hale ʻaina e loaʻa ai kā lākou meaʻai ma ka ʻāina.
He mea koʻikoʻi kēia ʻike inā ʻoe e hahai ana i a ʻai keto kiʻekiʻe he mea waiwai i na hua hou a me ka ia. ʻO ka ʻai ʻana ma ka ʻāina e hoʻokokoke iā ʻoe i kāu meaʻai a hiki ke hāʻawi i kahi pae o ka mana maikaʻi i ʻike ʻole ʻia e ka hapa nui o ka poʻe ma ka moʻomeheu Komohana i nā makahiki he 100.
ʻO ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻāina e pōmaikaʻi ke kaiapuni a hoʻonui i nā hana no nā mahiʻai liʻiliʻi. Akā maikaʻi loa ia no kou olakino.
ʻAe, ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻāina he hopena physiological i nā mea āpau mai kou olakino ʻōpū a i kāu mau hale kūʻai meaʻai. ʻO kēia kekahi mau pono o ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻāina.
Pehea e hiki ai i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻai ke pōmaikaʻi i kou olakino
E hoʻomaikaʻi i kāu microbiome
Ke wehe nei ka noiʻi i nā mea pohihihi o ka microbiome a me ka hopena o kāu ʻai i kou olakino. Eia nō naʻe, aia ke kumu maikaʻi e manaʻoʻiʻo ai ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻāina, e like me kā mākou mau kūpuna, hiki ke hoʻomaikaʻi i ke olakino a me ka haku ʻana o kāu microbiome.
I loko o kahi noiʻi, ua nānā nā mea noiʻi i ka microbiome o kahi hui o nā keiki mai ʻEulopa i ʻai i kahi meaʻai maʻamau o ke Komohana a me kahi hui o nā keiki mai ke kuaʻāina ʻo ʻApelika i ʻai i ka ʻāina.
Loaʻa i nā keiki ma ʻApelika kahi microbiome ʻokoʻa, me nā pae kiʻekiʻe o ka bacteria maikaʻi a me nā pae haʻahaʻa o ka bacteria maikaʻi ʻole.
ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi, ʻoi aku ka kiʻekiʻe o kāu microbiome i loko o ka bacteria ʻōpū e hiki ke wāwahi i nā meaʻai fiber kiʻekiʻe, kahi ʻāpana o kāu meaʻai kūloko.
No laila, hiki i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻāina ke hoʻopōmaikaʻi i kāu microbiome ma ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i ka bacteria ʻōpū e pono ai i kou kino e wāwahi i nā meaʻai āu e ʻai pinepine ai.
ʻOi aku ka nui o nā meaʻai
Ke kūʻai ʻoe i ka meaʻai mai kahi mākeke mahiʻai a i ʻole CSA, hiki iā ʻoe ke hōʻoia i ka ulu ʻana o ka hua i ka manawa. ʻO nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu i ulu i ka wā ʻoi aku ka nui o nā meaʻai, ma muli paha o ka lepo kūpono a me ke ʻano o ka wā.
Ua ʻike ʻia kekahi haʻawina ʻo ka broccoli i ulu ʻia i ke kau ua aneane ʻelua ʻoi aku ka nui o ka huaora C ma mua o ka broccoli i ulu i waho o ke kau.
ʻO nā mahiʻai liʻiliʻi e ulu ana i kā lākou mau meaʻai kūloko, ʻoi aku ka nui o ka nui o ka lepo momona. ʻO nā hana mahiʻai o kēia wā e like me ka monoculture ua hoʻopau i ka hapa nui o ka topsoil o nā meaʻai koʻikoʻi, hiki ke hopena i ka liʻiliʻi o nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu.
ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻike ka ʻoihana mahiʻai ma ke Kulanui o Texas ma Austin i nā "hōʻemi hilinaʻi" i ka nui o nā meaʻai i ka wā i nānā ai lākou i ka ʻikepili meaʻai mai ka US Department of Agriculture mai 1.950 a 1.999.
Ma luna o 50 mau makahiki, ua ʻike lākou i ka emi nui o ka nui o ka huaora C, ka huaora C, ka phosphorus, ka hao, ka calcium, a me ka protein i loko o nā huaʻai a me nā mea kanu he 40 i ulu ʻia ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa.
ʻO ka mana hoʻomalu
ʻO ke kūʻai ʻana i nā meaʻai ma kāu mākeke mahiʻai kūloko kahi ala maikaʻi loa e ʻike pono ai i hea mai kāu meaʻai.
Hele pinepine nā mahiʻai i nā mākeke a loaʻa iā lākou e pane i nā nīnau e pili ana i ka ulu ʻana o lākou, inā hoʻohana ʻia nā pesticides, a pehea e mālama ʻia ai nā holoholona.
E nīnau mau, ʻoiai inā ʻaʻole lākou i hoʻolaha ʻia e like me USDA Organic.
Nui nā mahiʻai liʻiliʻi e hoʻokō i nā hana mahiʻai organik, akā ʻaʻole hiki ke loaʻa i ka USDA Organic Certification.
Ma ke kamaʻilio pōkole ʻana me kāu poʻe mahiʻai kūloko, hiki iā ʻoe ke aʻo nui e pili ana i ka maikaʻi o ka lepo a me nā hana i hiki ke hele ma mua o kahi hōʻailona hōʻoia pipiʻi.
8 mau ala e ʻai ai i ka ʻāina ma kahi ʻai Ketogenic
#1: Kūʻai ma nā mākeke mahiʻai
He ala maikaʻi loa ke kūʻai ʻana ma kahi mākeke mahiʻai e aʻo hou aʻe e pili ana i kahi e loaʻa mai ai kāu mau meaʻai a me kāu ʻiʻo. Aia pinepine nā mea mahiʻai kūloko ma nā hale lole e mākaukau e pane i nā nīnau a haʻi hou aku iā ʻoe e pili ana i kā lākou hana mahiʻai.
Ma muli o kou wahi e noho ai, hiki iā ʻoe ke loaʻa i nā kaukani o nā mahiʻai kūloko like ʻole me nā hale kūʻai i hoʻopaʻa ʻia me nā hua hou a me nā ʻoki ʻiʻo. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi maʻalahi i kahi mea kanu kūloko āu e hilinaʻi ai, a e hou mau nā huahana a i ke kau.
ʻAʻole i emi ke kumukūʻai o nā mākeke mahiʻai ma mua o ka hale kūʻai, akā ʻaʻole maʻamau. Eia kekahi, ʻoi aku ka hou o ka huahana, no laila e lōʻihi ka lōʻihi. A ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻono.
Ma ke ʻano he bonus, nui nā mākeke mahiʻai e hōʻike ana i nā mea hana hoʻonaninani kūloko a me nā mea mālama pilikino ʻē aʻe i hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopaʻa i nā kopa, nā kukui a me nā mea hou aku.
Nui nā mākeke mahiʻai i kā lākou mau pūnaewele ponoʻī, no laila inā makemake ʻoe e hoʻolālā i mua, hiki iā ʻoe ke nānā i nā mea kūʻai like ʻole ma mua o ka manawa e ʻike i ka mea āu e makemake ai e kipa.
#2 E ʻai i nā kau
ʻO kahi ala maʻalahi e ʻai ai i ka ʻāina ʻo ka ʻai ʻana i ke kau. ʻO ka ʻike ʻana i ka mea e ulu maoli ana ma kou wahi i kēlā me kēia kau hiki ke kōkua i ke alakaʻi ʻana iā ʻoe i ka hoʻolālā ʻana i kāu mau meaʻai no ka pule.
Inā hele ʻoe i loko o kou hale kūʻai kūloko i Ianuali a ʻike i ka pūʻulu o nā pīkī a me nā plums, hiki iā ʻoe ke maopopo ʻaʻole lākou i ulu ma ka ʻāina.
ʻO ka nui o nā meaʻai i ulu ʻia ma waho o ka wā pono e hele a hiki i 5.000 km a hiki iā ʻoe.
Hāʻawi ka hapa nui o nā hale kūʻai i kēlā me kēia ʻano huahana āu e noʻonoʻo ai i ka makahiki. Inā ʻaʻole loaʻa ka ʻāina kahi i ulu ai kāu huahana ma ka hōʻailona a i ʻole ka hōʻailona, e hele i ka lua o ka mea maikaʻi loa a hele pū me nā mea i ke kau.
#3 E kipa i nā mahiʻai kūloko
Inā noho ʻoe ma kahi kuaʻāina, hiki ke maʻalahi ke hele i kahi huakaʻi i kekahi o kāu mahiʻai kūloko. Nui nā mahiʻai ma nā mākeke he "lā mahiʻai" kahi e wehe ai lākou i ka mahiʻai i nā malihini.
He manawa kūpono kēia e ʻike pono ai i ke ʻano o ka ulu ʻana o ka hua, ka mea e hana ai no ka mālama ʻana i nā pest, a pehea e hānai ʻia ai nā holoholona mahiʻai a mālama ʻia.
ʻAʻohe ala ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi e hoʻoholo ai inā he manuahi maoli kēlā mau moa "free range" ma mua o ka ʻike ʻana iā lākou e holo manuahi ma kāu mau mahiʻai.
Nui nā ʻano like ʻole e hiki ai i ka poʻe mahiʻai ke hoʻokele i kā lākou waiwai, ʻaʻohe mea hōʻoluʻolu e like me ka ʻike kino ʻana.
ʻOiai inā e noho ana ʻoe i ke kūlanakauhale, he lā leʻaleʻa ia e holo ai i kekahi mau hola a kipa aku i kahi mahiʻai kūloko. Nui nā mahiʻai i loaʻa nā lā mahiʻai he hanana me nā holo mauʻu, nā laʻana meaʻai, a me nā zoo pipi. E noʻonoʻo he mea hoʻokalakupua no ka ʻohana holoʻokoʻa.
#4 Hui pū i kahi CSA (Kaiāulu Kākoʻo Mahiʻai)
Ma ke komo ʻana i kahi CSA, ke hana nei ʻoe i kahi kālā liʻiliʻi ma kāu mahiʻai kūloko, a ma ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana, e hoʻouna lākou iā ʻoe i nā hua hou i kēlā me kēia pule, ʻelua i ka mahina, a i ʻole hoʻokahi manawa i ka mahina, e pili ana i kāu kau inoa.
He ala maikaʻi kēia e hōʻoiaʻiʻo ai e loaʻa iā ʻoe nā ʻano mea like ʻole o ke kau a me nā huahana kūloko ma ke kumu mau. ʻO ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, e hoʻāʻo paha ʻoe i nā huahana he nui āu e manaʻo ʻole e kūʻai ma ka hale kūʻai.
Hāʻawi ka hapa nui o nā mahiʻai i nā pahu CSA i hoʻopiha ʻia me nā hua hou o kēlā kau, i kekahi manawa me nā mea ʻē aʻe e like me ka berena a me ka paʻakai.
A ʻoiai ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke koho i nā huaʻai a me nā huaʻai a lākou e hoʻouna ai, aia kekahi mau mahiʻai i nā ʻano ʻai me nā hua i ʻike pono ʻoe i ka hoʻohana ʻana i kāu uku.
ʻOi aku ka liʻiliʻi o nā pahu CSA ma mua o ke kūʻai ʻana i ka nui o nā huahana mai ka hale kūʻai.
ʻO kahi ʻōlelo akahele: inā ʻaʻole ʻoe makemake e kuke, ʻaʻole paha ʻo ka pahu CSA ke koho maikaʻi loa.
#5 Hoʻohui i kahi helu ʻiʻo
Ke ulu nui nei nā mea pipi, a he ala maikaʻi loa ia e hōʻoia ai e loaʻa ana ʻoe i ka ʻiʻo kiʻekiʻe ma ke kumu kūʻai kūpono.
Ua like ka nui o ka ʻiʻo me kahi CSA, kahi āu e hoʻolilo ai i kahi mahiʻai a holoholona a loaʻa mau i nā ʻoki ʻiʻo. Hiki i kekahi mau huahana ASC ke koho e hoʻohui i ka ʻiʻo.
ʻO kekahi ʻano o ka ʻiʻo quota e pili ana i kahi hui o ka poʻe e kūʻai aku i kahi holoholona holoʻokoʻa mai kahi mahiʻai. A laila e puunaue ka mahiʻai i ka ʻiʻo i waena o ka hui. He mea maʻamau kēia ma nā wahi kuaʻāina kahi i loaʻa ai i nā kānaka nā mahiʻai, a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā wahi e mālama ai (hoʻopaʻa ʻia a paʻa paha) nā ʻoki ʻiʻo i hoʻouna ʻia iā lākou.
Inā makemake ʻoe e kūʻai i ʻāpana o ka holoholona holoʻokoʻa, e kipa aku i kou kaiāulu a ʻike inā makemake kekahi e hana pū me ʻoe. Loaʻa iā ʻoe ma mua o nā ʻoki maʻamau o ka ʻiʻo āu i maʻa ai, no laila he koho maikaʻi ʻē aʻe kēia no ka poʻe makemake e hoʻomohala i ka lumi kuke.
#6 Kūʻai ma kahi hui meaʻai kūloko
Ke kū mai nei nā hale kūʻai kolepa ma nā wahi a pau, a hāʻawi lākou i kahi koho maikaʻi loa i nā mākeke mahiʻai. Nui nā mākeke mahiʻai e wehe wale ʻia i hoʻokahi lā o ka pule, akā wehe ʻia nā hale kūʻai kūʻai hui i ʻehiku mau lā o ka pule a ʻo ka mea maʻamau e loaʻa ka nui o kā lākou huahana ma ka ʻāina.
No nā lālā o nā hui meaʻai, ʻaʻole ka mea pilikino, a no ka liʻiliʻi o ka hoʻopukapuka makahiki, hiki iā ʻoe ke lilo i ʻāpana no nā uku a me nā pono ʻē aʻe.
#7 E koho i nā hale ʻaina i hoʻokumu ʻia ma ka ʻāina
ʻO kahi ala maikaʻi loa e loaʻa ai nā meaʻai kūloko i kāu meaʻai ʻo ke koho ʻana i nā hale ʻaina e hoʻokumu i kā lākou meaʻai i loko o kahi radius 100km. Ua kapa pinepine ʻia kēia mau hale ʻaina mahiʻai i ka pākaukau, a ke kaulana nei ma nā kūlanakauhale a me nā kuaʻāina.
He nui nā hale ʻaina mahiʻai i ka papa ʻaina i papa inoa i nā mahiʻai a lākou e hana pū ai ma ka papa kuhikuhi a i ʻole ma kekahi wahi ʻike nui ʻia o ka hale ʻaina.
ʻO kekahi pōmaikaʻi ʻē aʻe o ka kipa ʻana i nā hale ʻaina mahiʻai i ka papaʻaina ʻo ia ka papa kuhikuhi hoʻololi mau. No ka mea mai nā mahiʻai kūloko, pono lākou e ʻōwili me nā mea a nā mahiʻai e hana nei. Loaʻa kēia i ka nui o nā ʻano like ʻole a me nā manaʻo maikaʻi loa i ka kuke ʻana i kāu huahana kūloko.
ʻO kahi ala maikaʻi loa e ʻike ai i nā hale ʻaina mahiʻai-a-papaʻaina ma ke kipa ʻana i nā pūnaewele o kāu mau mahiʻai kūloko. Inā kūʻai lākou i nā hale ʻaina, e hoʻolaha pinepine lākou i kēia ma kā lākou pūnaewele. Hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻimi i nā hale ʻaina mahiʻai-a-papa ma Google a me Yelp.
ʻAʻole paha he 100% nā hale ʻaina mahiʻai i ka papaʻaina, akā hoʻāʻo ka hapa nui e hoʻokokoke kokoke loa. Inā kānalua, e nīnau i kāu kikowaena a mea hoʻokipa paha e pili ana i kā lākou hana hoʻolako.
#8 E ulu i kāu hua ponoʻī
Inā makemake ʻoe e kamaʻāina maoli, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻāʻo e ulu i kāu meaʻai ponoʻī. ʻAʻohe mea e like me ka loaʻa ʻana o nā mea kanu hou i kāu lumi kuke a i ʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻohi i kahi tōmato hou mai ke kumu waina.
He hana nui paha ia, akā ʻaʻole pono ʻoe i ka pā hale e loaʻa ai kahi māla mea kanu liʻiliʻi. ʻOiai inā he kamaʻāina ʻoe, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka ma ka ulu ʻana i kahi mea kanu a ʻelua paha ma kou puka makani a i ʻole ma ka pā a i ʻole ka hale.
Nui nā lāʻau maʻalahi ʻaʻole makemake i ka nui o ka lā e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ulu maʻalahi i loko o kāu keʻena e like me koume, rosemary, oregano, a me chives.
Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe ka wahi ma waho, e kipa i kāu kikowaena māla kūloko a i ʻole Home Depot a noi i ke kōkua.
Lawe ʻia: ʻai kūloko ke hiki iā ʻoe
ʻAʻole hiki ke ʻai i ka 100% ma ka ʻāina, akā ʻo ka ʻimi ʻana i nā ala e hoʻohui i nā meaʻai kūloko i kāu meaʻai hiki ke pōmaikaʻi ʻaʻole i kou olakino wale nō, akā i ke kaiapuni a me ka hoʻokele waiwai kūloko.
Inā makemake ʻoe i ka ʻai ʻana i ka ʻāina, e kipa i kāu mākeke mahiʻai kūloko a e ʻimi i nā huahana a me ka ʻiʻo CSA ma kou wahi.
Inā makemake ʻoe e hele i ka ʻanuʻu hou a e ʻike maoli i kahi e hele mai ai kāu meaʻai, e kipa i kekahi o kāu mahiʻai kūloko no kahi lā mahiʻai a ʻike iā ʻoe iho pehea lākou e ulu ai i kā lākou meaʻai a mālama i kā lākou mau holoholona.
Ke ulu nei ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻimi ʻana ma ka ʻāina i ka hoʻoulu ʻana o nā hale ʻaina mahiʻai hou a me ka papaʻaina me nā mea ʻai o ka papa kuhikuhi kūloko. He mea nui ke kākoʻo ʻana i kēia mau hale ʻaina liʻiliʻi e like me ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka poʻe mahiʻai, no laila e nānā i nā mea hou i kou kaiāulu no nā meaʻai kūloko.
