In Hawaiian, the phrase malama ‘aina means to care for the land so it can sustain life for future generations. As a fifth-generation family in Hawaii, we are honored to be stewards of both the land and local culture since 1865. We are proud to continue our family’s legacy through the experience of small-scale sustainable cacao farming, thoughtfully crafted chocolate, and educational farm tours on our historically-rich property.

Our famous chocolate farm tour is Kauai’s most enjoyable and educational activity. Your three-hour guided tour begins with a stroll through our botanical gardens, where you sample our award-winning palm-blossom honey, experience our vanilla beans, and do an extensive tropical fruit tasting. Learn all about Theobroma Cacao, the chocolate tree, and taste its ripe fruit and our fine craft chocolate from the farm. Reserve online today.

Now open in downtown Kapaa: Monday-Friday, 10:00am-4:00pm.
