Brynn’s vision is to live in a food sovereign Hawai’i sharing indigenous Hawai’ian canoe plants.
“Studying the different dietary theories through my integrated nutritional education, led me on my own ancestral connection of culture through the food”
Brynn combines her two passions, an acquired culinary interest from her studies in Europe, coupled with a dedication to her Hawai’ian heritage.
“Studying in Italy without the supersized refrigerator and processed packaged foods led to the discovery of local farmers markets featuring purveyors for pasta, flour and vegetables without a grocery store-loyalty-card in sight.”
Although raised in Southern California, her passion was born in the soil of Hawai’i.
“I have a tremendous passion to perpetuate the knowledge our ancestors gave us. When I was a little girl, my great-grandmother introduced me to a cookie made with Taro. After I had children, I was looking for ways to feed my family a healthy gluten-free alternative and remembered the way my great-grandmother introduced me to my culture through food so long ago. This was a serendipitous way to reconnect to my roots.”
Involved in many areas of the arts, Brynn is an active member in various non-profit organizations where she volunteers her time and donates a percentage of proceeds from Voyaging Foods to projects that support grass roots wellness-building and self-sustaining agricultural ventures.view less
