What Makes You a Natural Farmer?

At the most basic foundational level, Natural Farmers promote deep living soils produced by diverse and powerful Indigenous Micro Organisms (IMO).

In more advanced practices, Natural Farmers use edible solutions to complement the natural growth cycle of plants recognizing 3 distinct stages of Leaf, Flowering, and Reproductive Growth.

Natural Farmers are also famous for raising pigs and chickens with no smell and no cleaning, and flies are not attracted because beneficial micro organisms outcompete disease.

KNF in terms we can understand

KNF Microbes – IMO – (Diverse and multitalented soil life)
KNF Emergency Workers – LAB – (Police)
KNF Medicine – OHN – (5 Herbs)
KNF Food – FPJ
KNF Cleanser – BRV
KNF Fuel – FAA – (Meat, helps plants get chubby)
KNF Structure – WCP – (Bones, helps plants get strong & lanky)
KNF Fruit – WCA – (Eggs, helps plants fruit)
KNF Mineralaid – SEA – (Minerals, rejuvenate soil & sweeten fruit)

Natural Farming Hawaii aims to localize the terms of Korean Natural Farming to hawaiian culture and understanding.

These terms provide a clear association with words and concepts modern hawaiians are a familiar with. When we call the solution by its use the application becomes intuitive. For example:

If a plant looks sick, we use KNF Medicine.(OHN)
If a plant looks hungry, we use KNF Food. (FPJ)
If a plant has mildew, we use the KNF Cleanser. (BRV)
Etc.

These three Medicine, Food and Cleanser are almost always used together in natural farming, and combined with other Solutions to match plant growth requirements.

Solution help you generally upkeep your plants and soil biology and are applied at 25 gallons per acre once a week as necessary or as appropriate.

Long live the natural farmer!
