TOOL & EQUIPMENT LIBRARY

Our Tool & Equipment Library provides small farms with access to essential equipment through a simple reservation system. MFSN delivers tools directly to farms. Reserve your tools and support the program with a donation.

PURPOSE OF OUR TOOL & EQUIPMENT LIBRARY

Farming, especially on an island like Maui, requires a wide array of tools and equipment which can be both costly and space-consuming for individual farmers.

 

Our Tool & Equipment Library addresses this challenge by providing a collection of farming tools and equipment available for usage and borrowing.

 

This project reduces the financial strain on individual farmers and fosters a spirit of sharing and mutual support within our community. By pooling resources, farmers can experiment with different tools, reduce redundant purchases, and minimize their environmental impact.

 

The Tool Library strengthens the bond of the Maui farming community, as we work to ensure that everyone has access to the tools they need to nourish the land and feed our island’s residents.

WOOD CHIPS?

At times we have excess wood chips available from our chipping work. You can add your name to our list, and if we’re working in your area and have extra chips, we’ll reach out to arrange a drop-off. If you’d like to schedule the wood chipper for your property, you can also schedule time with MFSN.
