Eat
We believe in food as the great connector and have centered our community around food from soil and sea to plate. Prepare to indulge in three days of inspiring Island-to-Table meals that each tell a story of the Hawaiian food system with an artistic flair. We source nearly all ingredients from local farms across Hawaii and gather a team of chefs, farmers, fishers and producers to curate tremendous quality, unusually fresh, unique dining experiences.
Island-to-Table
The food (breakfasts, lunches and dinners) served over the Common Ground Summit’s 3 days will be locally sourced, prepared with best practices and include unique local ingredients, creating interesting experiences that can’t be replicated elsewhere; all while supporting small farmers, fisherman, ranchers and producers. The artisan crafted alcoholic & non-alcoholic beverages paired with each meal and offered throughout the day take an equally exquisite approach to featuring local botanical delights.
All meals are enjoyed on communal farm tables. Dinner is served with wine pairings and live music or an evening performance. We hope that you’ll make new friends over food, have inspiring conversations, plan future projects or just simply enjoy the company and delicious meals.
Stay tuned for the announcement of our culinary team 2024 - and get ready for 3 days of extraordinary culinary experiences!
Highlights from ICWF 2023
Each meal at ICWF was thoughtfully selected and prepared with all local ingredients sourced from the Common Ground agroforest and neighboring small farms, fisheries, ranches and hunters. The last evening featured a feast from a traditional Hawaiian Imu.
