Kapalua Farms: Now Certified Organic!

The roots of the Kapalua Resort are in agriculture--even the Kapalua Logo pays homage to the history of the resort, with a pineapple in the center of the butterfly. In the past, diverse crops such as pineapple and coffee were grown here. DT Flemming started Maunalei Arboretum to see what imported species would do well in Hawaii's environment.

These days, the focus of Kapalua Farms is growing fresh, organic fare that is used in the resort's many restaurants and is available at the Honolua Store, as well as other locations island wide. In that effort, Kapalua Farms is pleased to announce recent organic certification of its vegetable and herb operation by the Hawai‘i Organic Farmers Association (HOFA).

Kapalua Farms is located on approximately 188 acres near the resort (a portion of it runs along Pineapple Hill Estates), and produces Kapalua Gold and Emerald organic pineapple, organic produce and herbs, tropical fruits, as well as yummy, pasture-raised eggs.
