With a focus on fresh, local foods and sustainable agriculture, a farm-to-table diet is beneficial for you, your family, and your environment. For such fares on Oahu’s North Shore, residents and tourists alike turn to Kahuku Farms.

For over 100 years, the Matsuda and Fukuyama families that make up this farm have brought their community fresh fruits, vegetables, and other crops. Now, with the creation of the Farm Café in 2010, they continue to demonstrate what the farm-to-table movement is about. When you visit this fresh farm restaurant, you’ll find dozens of delicious, healthy creations, all using ingredients grown and handpicked.

While all their dishes capture the Farm Café’s unique flavors and values, their staff recommends all visitors sample these four dishes, in particular:

  • farm to tableFarm Pizza: Who knew pizza could be so nutritious? Here, Kahuku Farms puts a farm- to-table spin on the world-famous fare, using tomato-eggplant bruschetta, fresh mozzarella, and basil and macadamia nut pesto to create the freshest pizza on the North Shore. Served with a bountiful side salad, this signature dish won’t disappoint.
  • Grilled Veggie Panini Sandwich: Like their farm pizza, Kahuku Farm’s grilled veggie paninis are homemade every day with hand-picked ingredients for maximum flavor. They feature two slices of focaccia bread stuffed with grilled eggplant, bell peppers, zucchini, hydroponic lettuce, and other local ingredients.  
  • Haupia Pineapple Smoothie: If these entrees have your head spinning, check out their Haupia Pineapple Smoothie. This fan-favorite contains haupia, a homemade coconut sauce sweetened with the farm’s own vanilla beans, as well as robust apple banana, and fresh pineapple juice for a refreshing take on a traditional treat. If these ingredients aren’t catching your eye, don’t worry. There are four other delicious, whole-fruit smoothies to try, each representing the café’s finest farm-to-table selections.  
  • Grilled Banana Bread: Have we piqued your sweet tooth’s interest? If so, you’ll want to hear about this last local food item. Kahuku Farm’s grilled banana bread is a unique creation consisting of sweet banana bread topped with vanilla caramel and vanilla haupia.
