The one thing that I love about where I live is that we do take pride in our produce.
Just to give a shout out to the farms that I love to visit and are open for the public to come and see as well:
Hamakua Mushrooms
This farm grows and ships mushrooms statewide and their mushrooms can be found in big name super stores like Costco.
Hawaiian Vanilla Company:
This local company spent years trying to learn about cultivating vanilla and has done an excellent job of turning this experiment into a lucrative international business.
Volcano winery is located one stop after the national park's main entrance. They infuse a lot of the local fruits with their wines to get a unique flavor of what grows here. The best part is doing tastings outside right by the vineyard and getting a tour by the owner, Dell Bothoff.
Kahua Ranch:
This spot has a special place in my heart because this is where I held my wedding reception and the sunsets are absolutely breath taking!
You can buy their meat, as well as enjoy an evening dinner, a day of horseback riding or workshops like sheep shearing.
Kona's Ocean Rider Seahorse Farm:
TEA ENTHUSIAST
Big Island Tea Company: Check out this article
And...I'm not even going to touch the various Coffee farms all around, so have fun with that :)
