Family Ingredients

Kaiha’ale’a (Ha’a) Keaulana is a surfer, photographer, community champion and a member of the family of guardians who protect Mākaha Beach on the west side of Oʻahu, Hawaiʻi. For Haʻa, food sustainability is key to protecting the islandʻs fragile ecosystem. This ocean warrior is committed to promoting sustainable practicies that will ensure a healthy future for her community and the planet.

Join Singer/Songwriter Jack Johnson and his pal Hawai’i chef Ed Kenney on a memorable road trip along the California coast. They share a deep love of family, music, surfing and of course food -- all of which feeds their shared concern for sustainability and protecting our environment.

Molokaʻi is the least populated of all the Hawaiian Islands and residents prefer it that way. Fiercely independent, they fish, hunt, plant taro and tend to their gardens, proudly passing down their traditions from one generation to the next. This is the island where Raiatea Helm was born and raised -- it is the source of her inspiration.

Follow Raiatea from Molokaʻi to Kauaʻi, where her maternal roots are deeply connected to the salt ponds of Hanapēpē, one of the most highly prized natural salts in the world. In this episode, we learn more about her family tree which is like a puzzle -- each precious piece reveals a part of Hawaiʻiʻs unique history.
