We did this tour as a family, over Thanksgiving. The guide is the owner. She is enthusiastic,…read moreknowledgeable, and, as my wife and the other women in the group noted, glamorous for someone toiling in the fields. Basically the activity turns on her story telling. Her accounts of flash flooding are vivid. She sure is accomplished. Her anecdotes are authentic, sincere, and funny. There isn't all that much walking, and they bring chairs out for people who need to sit. One fellow fell over in the mud (the leg of the stool sank and he toppled over; he was unhurt). There are three parts. First, there is the taro farm. Second, there is the rice mill. Third, there is lunch. The taro farm is a real, multi-generation family enterprise. I don't understand how they make money. It looks as if it is all done by hand. And taro is not a luxury item. You help them gather the eggs of invasive snails. Presumably they have some other task if needed and that doesn't work. The rice mill is fascinating. It's too bad it doesn't work anymore. You look at everything that has ben restored. You also drink fresh coconut milk, extracted right from the gourd in front of you, and you eat tarot snacks they make as you watch. The lunch is excellent. We enjoyed, among us, all of the menu choices. The quantities also are vast. The food truck would be worth visiting on its own, without any of the rest of the activities.

We took the tour of this mill and taro farm tour 5 years ago. The 3 of us (adults) thoroughly…read moreenjoyed it. The exuberance this family has in the farming, milling, and agricultural is amazing. We walked out on the taro fields. We were shown the snails that unfortunately are now embedded in the fields and love to eat taro. So many things could have been avoided if man hadn't brought them here. We had no idea there were agriculture thieves who raid groves and fields then sell them underground or on the sides of roads. We were given some samples of food made from the local ingredients. Then we were driven to their delicious Hanalei & Juice food truck for some of the island's best Kahula Pork you'll ever have.

If you're a fan of thrift shops, this one is worth visiting. Located just off Rice St in Lihue, they have ample free parking outside. It doubles as a social services center in the front, with donation area at the back. Signs lead you toward the shop entrance as well. They have a lot of stuff in such a small space, with clothing, books, media, home goods, toys, etc. More valuable items are kept in the glass case or behind the counter. The shop attendants were friendly and welcoming. If you're visiting and need books to read or clothing in a pinch, this is a great option.

There are so many great ways to give back. It can be as simple as donating food, donating toys for the dogs and cats, walking dogs, cleaning kennels, taking photos of the cute animals, and even helping with veterinary supplies. It really like the staff that I have met and enjoyed working with them in the past. They are dedicated and wonderful people.

I know it is very hard to bring dogs to islands, so adopting from the island is a great option. We do foster dogs at our home and we support animal shelters that do a lot of the hard work.
