4 Reasons to Bring the Family to Kahuku Farms

1. Leisurely Pace

Whether you take an hour-long grand tour of the farm or opt for the 30-minute smoothie tour, each experience is perfectly paced to accommodate visitors of all ages. Toddlers and grandparents alike will enjoy the relaxing wagon ride through the commercial fields, then tantalize their taste buds with samples of freshly grown papaya and bananas. Families can take as much time as they want to marvel over the chickens and crops that call the farm home. 

2. Learning Opportunities

The business is owned by two families who have been farming in the area for over 100 years. Their experience allows guests to learn about the agricultural history and features of the North Shore, as well as the cultural richness that makes it so unique. Everyone will come away more knowledgeable about what it takes to create a sustainable farm.

Visitors will discover facts like how to grow lilikoi and why the local soil is so ideal for growing delicious fruits and vegetables. Children will learn more about where their food comes from and why it’s important to eat fresh produce every day. Seniors who have been living in the region all their lives will appreciate how the farm keeps the tradition of growing seasonal offerings like guava, starfruit, and citrus. 

3. Family Bonding 

The farm staff encourages families to stay as long as they would like. Kids can run around their lawn area while their parents share a Plantation Iced Tea or Tropi-Kale Smoothie. A Banana Sundae is an ideal way to share a tasty memory and cap off a fun day. The shop also offers useful souvenirs like Kahuku Honey and Lilikoi Butter to inspire future home-cooked meals.

4. Delicious Food 

After engaging in family activities, everyone can fuel up with the healthy, mouthwatering favorites. The produce from the farm tour is infused into everything from the Roasted Veggie Soup to the Farm Pizza and Grilled Veggie Salad with award-winning Lilikoi Balsamic Dressing. Kids will love the Grilled PBJ Banana Sandwich with Peanut Butter and Pineapple Papaya Jam. Wash it all down with a fresh-squeezed lemonade or a Ginger Farm Cooler.
