Most people are surprised to learn that the Hawaiian Islands are home to countless incredible farms, ranches, and sprawling fields. From macadamia nut and local coffee farms to cattle ranches, organic spirit distilleries, and even honey bee and goat dairy operations, Hawaiian Islands are home to countless incredible agricultural ventures. And while these farms are all truly one-of-a-kind, this little-known destination stands out in a class all its own. 

Tucked away off the beaten path on the slopes of Mount Haleakala just outside the charming town of Makawao, few people have heard of — let alone visited — the Maui Butterfly Farm.
