KAPALUA, Hawaii (AP) — Collin Morikawa is making his fifth trip to Kapalua to start a new year on the PGA Tour at The Sentry. This was the first time he wore an apron and was shivering from cold.
Before heading to the range, Morikawa drove up the mountain from the Plantation Course to work with Hua Momona Farms, which specializes in microgreens. It has been providing free meals of locally sourced ingredients to Maui families displaced by the deadly fires in Lahaina that killed at least 100 people.
Zach Laidlaw, the chef, was among Hua Momona Farms employees who lost their homes.
Morikawa and his wife clipped beet sprouts with a straight razor, peeled carrots and stepped into the freezer trailer to finish packing the boxed meals.
