We had visited once before back in 2012 and remembered it being a great experience, and it's nice to see how much the farm has upgraded since then. They offer goat and cheese tours that you can sign up for online. This time, we just wandered around the grounds and relaxed while watching the goats and baby kids play in their pen. We also bought a $10 bucket of hay to feed the goats off to the side. We were told they were under a year old, though they were already pretty much adult-sized! They were extremely enthusiastic about the hay, and the bucket was gone in no time. It was such a fun and wholesome experience, for both me and the goats. Definitely a cute stop, and I hope to come back next time and sign up for one of the tours next time in Maui.

We ordered the goat cheese sampler platter which allowed us some options. I wish that there was bread that came with it instead of just crackers. Most of our crackers were broken. They did give a variety of different crackers my feedback would be to do a better job of giving whole or partially whole crackers. Another hit were the truffles. You can mix and match or get all one kind. They have a lot of variations. The service was friendly and the views were beautiful. It was neat to see some of the younger and older goats. They have a lot of space to be themselves. Those goats look as healthy as can be. I would come back.

We drove by this persimmon farm on Maui 2 years ago, and their fruit looked soooo fabulous, but…read morethey were closed due to the pandemic. This year, we contact the owner Noel (sp?) Hashimoto, and he was very accommodating. The story of how his farm started is available on their website and is an interesting one. We easily set up a time to come visit his farm and buy a small number of his prized persimmons. He and his wife were present when we drove up and they were both delightful people. Very kind, modest, and unassuming - very aloha . His brother's farm is right next door, and they also appear to have great reviews. While visiting, we asked if they had any of their Maru variety persimmons about which I'd read. He was kind enough to cut one in quarters for me and my wife to try at no extra charge. A delicious treat. We bought 3lbs of the fuyu variety and I have eaten two already today. Without doubt the sweetest and best persimmons I've ever tasted. So glad we were able to give them a try and we hope to pay them another visit when we come to Maui again next year at this time. I love to support small family businesses with excellent product from good people like this. Mahalo for the tasty treats and your aloha welcome.

If you've got time 'Mana Foods' in Paia is a perfect spot to satisfy those needs - grab a quick meal or stock the shelves or fridge of your condo. only 15 minutes from Kahului airport. There is a Whole Foods just as close to the airport but by visiting Paia you get to kill two birds with one stone; Paia is full of little shops and restaurants & Mana Foods is unique in many ways and definitely worth a visit. Mana has a 'ton of healthy food options' and the hot food bar is superb; many organic selections, killer soups, sandwiches, steamed veges, etc. The hot food bar is hands-down way superior than Whole Foods. There is plenty of 'scan to park' spots available in Paia and it may be important to note that there is not a lot of places to sit down and eat your food if you purchase food to go... you kinda have to find a shady curb somewhere to sit down and eat. I think Mana in Paia is well worth a slight detour.

In the back, you will find a food court with endless options, whether you grab what is already laid out or order fresh off the menu. I had the California roll twice, and the rice was so soft with a perfect rice-to-filling ratio, easily the best California roll I have ever had. I also tried the BBQ flatbread, which was pretty good. Ordering off the menu was also a great option. I got the fried rice and galbi, which came with sides and were all delicious. One thing my friend could not stop talking about was the poke, which was slightly on the spicier side but fresh, soft, and very tasty. This place has it all, and you really cannot go wrong. It might be a bit more on the expensive side depending on what you get, but it is pretty in line with the rest of Hawaii's pricing. Do yourself a favor and check it out. You can also grab groceries and snacks while you are there.

This deli is located in a strip mall and is bigger inside than it looks from the outside. On one side they have the ordering area with a beverage cooler, a display case, and hats for sale with their logo. The other side has seating and can probably fit around 30 to 40 people. For lunch on this day I went with the chicken pesto panini while my father went with a hot dog with mustard and sauerkraut. The menu described my sandwich as chicken breast, sun dried tomato, toasted pine nuts, provolone, and pesto spread, and my father's simply as sauerkraut and mustard. It was busy when we were there, so it took about 10 minutes to order and another 15 minutes for the food to come out. Since we ordered separately, my food came out first and even though I planned to wait, I had enough time to eat it while waiting for my dad's. The chicken pesto panini ended up being quite good. The chicken was moist and flavorful and there was more than enough cheese. The sun dried tomatoes added a nice pop of flavor, although I wish there had been more. My favorite part was the pesto spread and pine nuts, especially the garlicky flavor from the pesto. My dad also thought his hot dog was good. The bottom line for me is that I would head back here again in the future. I enjoyed my sandwich and my dad enjoyed his hot dog, so I would be interested in trying more of the menu.

We have ordered a mix of different sized boards to fit our needs for each event. The boards were beautifully presented and offered a variety of meats, cheeses, and crackers to choose from. It was because of them that I discovered the Sartori Cabernet Sauvignon BellaVitano Cheese (delicious wine cheese) and that pesto is amazing with honey. Haha :) At first we weren't sure if it was "enough" food for the amount of people we were expecting, but they turned out to be perfect for snacking/grazing and everyone loved the presentation. It can get quite a bit pricey, but they will work with you to create a menu that fits your budget and ideas if needed, and can even incorporate any dietary restrictions or preferences. For us, it was worth it to add something that was not only pretty and delicious, but saved us a lot of time! All in all, I'd recommend Charcuterie Plus Bar to add a little special touch to any event.

She'll ask preferences and ideas and will work hard to make your event special and custom. I highly recommend Charcuterie Bar Plus for events!
