The most important thing you can do when visiting any island is to support its local economy. In Hawai\u02bbi, one of the best ways to do that is by supporting local agriculture. You can do this by going on farm tours, purchasing locally-grown ingredients and shopping at farmers markets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Although the archipelago was once completely self-sustaining with a robust food system, Hawai\u2019i now relies on imported food for 85% to 90% of its needs. As a food lover and former chef, the first thing I did when I moved to Hawai\u02bbi nine years ago was to plug into the local farming community, so I could source the freshest ingredients and support local agriculture. As a traveler, I do the same thing wherever I go. You will always find the best food when it\u02bbs locally produced.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to the <\/span>Maui County Farm Bureau<\/span><\/a>, Maui is home to over 800 farms. Over a dozen host farm tours. While you will have the opportunity to learn and taste wonderful things at all of them, here are a few that offer something extra special. Check out these farm tours next time you visit Maui.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018Oko\u2019a Farms<\/b> – Farm tour and tasting + farm-to-table dinners<\/span><\/p>\n

With no farming experience, Ryan Earhart started \u2018Oko\u2019a Farms in 2004 on a patch of dry, undernourished land. 21 years later, thanks to his curiosity, ingenuity and relentless hard work \u2013 despite many hardships \u2013 his farm now grows over 100 different crops. Today, it supplies a farmers market in Wailea (soon to be a brick-and-mortar store) and his own <\/span>farm shop in Kula<\/span><\/a>, which in turn supports more than 100 local vendors.<\/span><\/p>\n

The tour begins in a quaint garden just off the farmhouse, where large trays of fresh dragon fruit, star fruit, guava, jaboticaba, carrots and radishes are served with a house-made macadamia nut-herb dip.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seated on benches made of recycled mango wood, guests are introduced to Dr. Carolyn Dean \u2013 a medical doctor, naturopath, food security activist and supporter of the farm from day one. She invested in the farm in 2020 when Earhart\u2019s landlord planned to sell the land. Like a fairy godmother, Dean swooped in and helped Earhart purchase the property, securing the farm\u2019s future.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Earhart\u2019s passion is connecting people to their food, and it shows. As he leads the tour, he picks fruit off trees for guests to sample, pulls carrots straight from the earth and explains each crop in detail\u2014darting around the farm like an excited kid on Christmas morning. There\u2019s sugar cane, banana trees, pineapple, 1,000 chickens and rows upon rows of produce\u2014everything from turnips to asparagus. Like many farms in Kula, the property also boasts breathtaking ocean views.<\/span><\/p>\n

Guests can also visit the farm in the early evening for a farm-to-table dinner prepared by Earhart himself following the tour. <\/span><\/p>\n

Ku\u2019ia Estate Chocolate<\/b> – Farm tour, tasting and sunset jazz\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr. Gunars Valkirs<\/span>, a biophysicist who invented the rapid response pregnancy test and various cardiovascular health diagnostics, began growing cacao and making award-winning chocolate in Lahaina in 2020 as a retirement project.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Seven days a week you can tour his 20-acre farm where he uses agroforestry to cultivate <\/span>a loving environment for 100 varieties of cacao. The tours leads you through a forest of panax (known as \u201cfalse coffee\u201d) trees, which block wind along the perimeter, neem trees, which keep the pests away and cacao trees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eventually, you\u2019ll reach a two-story gazebo overlooking the orchard. With sweeping ocean views, you\u2019ll taste at least nine varieties of chocolate \u2013 coffee-flavored, milk chocolate, dark chocolate and sugar-free \u2013 made with estate-grown beans. The company also offers a wide variety of flavored chocolates using beans sourced from Costa Esmeralda, a farm in Ecuador with close ties to Dr. Valkirs.<\/span><\/p>\n

As a dark chocolate lover, I found the sugar-free chocolate especially interesting. Instead of artificial sweeteners like Truvia or Stevia, Dr. Valkirs uses allulose \u2013 a naturally occurring sugar with a similar chemical structure to sucrose but less sweet and no caloric absorption by the body. I also loved the calamansi-flavored dark chocolate and the estate\u2019s bean-to-bar dark chocolate.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the tour, you\u2019ll return to the chocolate factory and caf\u00e9, which is 100% solar-powered. Here, you can purchase chocolate bars, drinks and desserts made with Ku\u02bbia Estate Chocolate. Don\u2019t miss the chocolate milkshake.<\/span><\/p>\n

On Sunday evenings, head upstairs for a glass of wine and a free sunset jazz concert.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

All profits from sales are donated to local non-profit organizations such as Maui Food Bank and the Maui Humane Society.<\/p>\n

O\u2019o Farm<\/b> – Coffee tasting, farm tour and brunch<\/span><\/p>\n

Start your morning with a cup of freshly brewed coffee while taking in views of Central and West Maui all the way <\/span>to the ocean<\/span>. O\u02bbo Farm grows, processes and roasts its coffee entirely on site \u2013 <\/span>3,500-feet up in the district of Kula. After a tasting and primer on coffee production, you’ll tour the farm, which features up to 130 varieties of fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers across eight acres of lush, hilly fields.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When owners Louis Coulombe and Stephan Bel-Robert purchased the land in 2000 they began with coffee, eventually expanding into produce to supply their Lahaina restaurant, Pacific\u02bbo on the Beach. After the restaurant tragically burned down during the Maui wildfires in August 2023, they began hosting farm-to-table dinners at the farm, which had already been welcoming visitors for tours since 2007.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Eventually, the tour ends at an outdoor kitchen shaded by tall trees and framed by that same gorgeous view. Here, the farm\u2019s chef prepares a brunch feast made almost entirely from ingredients grown on site. Among the three courses were pastries, salads, sliced fruit, frittata, freshly baked bread and all the coffee we could drink. <\/span><\/p>\n

Waikulu Distillery<\/b> – Agave Farm Tour and Spirit Tasting<\/span><\/p>\n

Visit Hawai\u02bbi\u2019s only agave spirits farm and distillery. Because \u201cTequila\u201d is a protected designation of origin that can only be used in specific regions of Mexico, Waikulu Distillery refers to its product as \u201cagave spirits.\u201d Like Tequila, Waikulu spirits are made with at least 51% blue weber agave \u2013 all grown onsite.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Owner and distiller Paul Turner has been stewarding this land for over 20 years with a minimal environmental footprint. He planted agave in 2012, a plant so resilient it requires no irrigation. The distillery runs entirely on solar power.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Tours include a walk through the agave fields, with opportunities to watch workers harvest the plant and cut it down to its pi\u00f1a (core). You\u2019ll also see the custom-built ovens and agave crusher\u00a0 Turner designed himself. Guests can taste a piece of freshly steamed agave \u2013 cooked for two days until fully caramelized.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

After the tour, you\u2019ll sample a selection of Waikulu\u2019s silver and barrel-aged agave spirits. My favorite was a smoky, slightly spicy spirit infused with chipotle and arbol chiles. All Wailuku spirits are made with wild yeast and zero additives \u2013 a rarity in the Tequila business. The distillery produces only 10,000 to 12,000 bottles per year. Aside from a few grocery stores, bars and hotels on Maui, the only place you can purchase them is at the distillery itself.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
