After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
While mainland America experiences all things autumn, including apple orchards, haunted attractions, fall foliage, and chilly weather, those of us who call Hawaii home can get a little bummed when the only seasonal change is a drop in the ocean temperature or Starbucks cup print. Well, I have fantastic news for all of you who either miss seasons or wish you were able to experience them, ever: there is a farm on Oahu that hosts its very own fall harvest fest each year, and it’s as wonderful as you would expect.
Welcome to Waimanalo Country Farms, a gorgeous slice of paradise nestled near the southeastern tip of Oahu that hosts an annual fall harvest that is fun for the whole family.
Nestled at the back of a residential area between the breathtaking Waimanalo Beach and the towering Ko’olau Mountains, this is easily the most gorgeous pumpkin patch in the country and is the perfect place to visit when you want to pretend it’s fall.
A trip to Waimanalo Country Farms isn’t complete without ordering a mason jar full of their mouthwatering ‘Nalo Made Lemonade. I’m partial to their li hing mui lemonade, but I’m told the pineapple, mango and strawberry flavors are delicious as well.
The only difference between this charming pumpkin patch and those you’ll find on the mainland? Your cute pumpkin patch photos will be taken while wearing shorts, t-shirts, and slippers instead of jeans, sweaters, and boots. Oh, and of course, the gorgeous Ko’olau Mountains and the vast Pacific Ocean will serve as a backdrop.
Waimanalo Country Farms is open for the season starting October 6. Visit Saturdays and Sundays through October from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. to participate in all of the fall fun. Then, in November, visit when their sunflowers are in bloom.
Waimanalo Country Farms is located at 41-225 Lupe St., Waimanalo, HI 96795. For more information about their Fall Harvest Festival, visit their website or follow them on Facebook.
Hawaii is one of the only places you can visit a pumpkin patch in the morning and the beach in the afternoon, so why not take advantage of our uniqueness and make an entire day of it and visit the nearby Waimanalo and Bellows beaches.
