Most people are surprised to learn that the Hawaiian Islands are home to countless incredible farms, ranches, and sprawling fields.

Nestled on the Maui Tropical Plantation, which sprawls more than 800 acres across the island and is home to a restaurant, coffee shop, ice cream parlor, and several unforgettable tours in addition to being a working farm are the unparalleled Kumu Farms Stand.
Kumu Farms began as a small family farm in 1981 on the island of Molokai, growing specialty produce — like peppers and herbs — for the local market. This family operation grew throughout the years, and in 2011, they opened a farm at the Maui Tropical location.
Cultivating more than 60 acres of land on the plantation, Kumu Farms offers all sorts of produce for sale at their roadside farm stand in addition to selling their products to private businesses and retail locations across Hawaii and the United States mainland.
They also grow and harvest avocados and a variety of herbs like parsley and cilantro. In total, they grow more than 35 products, but it's their non-GMO SunRise Papaya that is most well-known.
Visit for yourself six days a week (Monday through Thursday) to stock up on produce and a variety of other pre-packaged products like honey, macadamia nut butter, and more. Just think of all the yummy dishes you can make with this fresh produce.
