Small Farm Legal Structure & Liability Basics
Do I Really Need an LLC?
An In-Person (only) Molokaʻi Farm Workshop
If you’re selling produce, hosting farm pick-ups, using equipment, or having people on your land, your farm may already be exposed to risk — even if it’s small.
This workshop is a plain-language conversation for Molokaʻi farmers moving beyond subsistence. We’ll talk story about real farm situations, why many farms are encouraged to form an LLC, when insurance alone is not enough, and how Hawaiʻi’s GET works — including why reporting is usually simpler than people expect.
No legal talk. No paperwork. No pressure. Just practical guidance and tips to help protect your farm, ʻohana, and future.
