The farm operates on a sustainable agriculture motto. I like that a lot. The staff is local. The farm is clean and professionally operated. The farm is unique as the mushrooms are grown in bottles utilizing a Japanese method. Lani and Jane took care of the group today. Our first stop was the substrate mixer, autoclave, and bottle cleaning station. Very interesting. Next we moved inside. A very informative video explains the whole process. We were shown the production areas within the plant. The mushrooms are amazing. Everything you thought you knew about eating and cooking mushrooms is about to change. The staff prepared a bountiful selection of their mushrooms. They explained the proper technique to cook mushrooms to gain the most health benefits, and the flavor, wow! We picked up some of the mushroom value added products available. Cookies and tea. The cookies were amazing. The tea will wait until we get home. Will we go again? Of course, when friends come to visit, this will be on the schedule.

Great vendors. Lots of food options. Well organized. A must visit if you are in Waimea.read more

Fresh coconut, fresh fruits, tasty food made ready at each stand, great crafts for sale, and a great uncrowded layout. It's a mix of tourists and locals and the playground just across the street seals the deal for families with little ones. We ate so much I thought we wouldn't fit back in the car! Even my family members who were dragged into the experience against their will (I have a habit of doing that) loved it. Super friendly vendors who were all ready to answer questions about their products, farms, and life in Hawaii. Love this market!

We were out on a walk and stumbled upon this farmer's market…read more I believe it's here once a week on Wednesdays. There are a handful of vendors selling various things here. The honey vendor has some free samples. We got some fresh fruit. They had lilikoi so I had to get some. We also got a guava to try. The fruit was good, but it was very expensive. When we were on Maui, there were tons of roadside fruit stands and this is definitely the cheaper way to buy fruit. We didn't see any of these on the big island though.

The produce we sampled was all absolutely delicious, especially the blimbi (which tasted like a crunchy lime and is related to star fruit).

The t-shirts are super breathable and perfect for summer weather, and the hat is very comfy too. I still can't believe what a great deal everything was. Easily one of my favorite stops on my trip to Hawaii, and that's saying something!

From lavender sachets and organic loofah to dried butterfly pea flowers for tea to delicious jam this farmstead is definitely worth a stop for gifts from the island and homemade food and goodies.

He built his cacao farm from the bottom up and it was amazing to witness his progress ever since 2017. He walked us through the seed germination process, the growing process, the fermentation process and everything before, in between and after that.. from seed all the way to chocolate bar. This tour is meant to expand your knowledge and change your perspective on how you think about, taste, and experience chocolate. At the end of the farm tour, you drive down to the gift shop (about a 3 min drive from the farm) to make any potential purchases as well as taste even more chocolate! What an amazing and unique experience in Honaka'a and 100% recommend adding this tour to your Big Island itinerary. P.S. my favorite chocolate bar is the barrel aged bourbon bar!! Notes of dark cherry with a bourbon finish :)
