Laulima has been using organic and regenerative practices since the beginning. When the 13 acres was purchased in 1996, the land was covered entirely in invasive trees and grasses. Through laulima — ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi for "many hands" — the farm has transformed into an edible oasis. Walking around today, it looks more like a forest or botanical garden than what you might picture as a farm: large overstory trees like avocado, jackfruit, and longan provide a canopy that shelters smaller trees such as cacao and coffee, which prefer the shade. In between, you'll find papaya, banana, citrus, durian, zapotes, hot pepper shrubs for our hot sauce, and root crops of ginger and turmeric for our tea blends — plus pineapple, dragonfruit, and popcorn (don't miss a fresh-popped bag at our stand!) — all tucked together with our nitrogen-fixing ground cover of perennial peanut. This is a food forest--diverse by design. To learn more about our many crops, check out our What We Grow page.

On the farm, all harvesting and processing is done by hand, ensuring high quality from beginning to end. We are committed to honoring food as the sacred thing it is, and to caring for the land as best we know how.

Food is medicine, health is wealth. Come see for yourself...
