    Fresh ahi $18/lb, treats for pups and treats for humans
    Deandra V.

    We've bought their gumbo from the farmers markets but this was our first time buying fresh fish! Such a good price and locally sourced. Ahi was cheaper than some poke shops! Got some goodies for the dogs and humans. Customer service was spectacular- doesn't make you feel pressured to buy anything. Turned our ahi to tataki and maki!

    When I moved to the island a month ago, I fantasized about fresh fish sustainably caught by local fishermen.

You can taste…read morehow intentional everything is -- the ingredients are seasonal, fresh, and much of the meal comes straight from the farm, which makes such a difference. I usually order two salads with their fruit-based dressings. The dragon fruit dressing is normally my favorite, but this visit the papaya dressing absolutely stole the show -- bright, balanced, and so satisfying. From smoothies to brunch to a genuinely healthy lunch, I always leave feeling amazing. The food feels clean, thoughtful, and grounding in the best way. The staff deserves a special shoutout -- kind, welcoming, and consistently wonderful. It's never crowded, which honestly makes me want to go out of my way to support them even more. If you're looking for food that feels good and does good, Kahumana Food Hub, Organic Farm, and Cafe is such a gem.

I was blown away and i cannot wait to come back to try more items on the menu. Everything was made with love. So fresh and delicious!!!!! I highly recommend this restaurant. The mac nut pesto was soooo goood and creamy, all the veggies in it was tasty and sautéed perfectly. This veggie soup was hearty, flavorful and just so yummy lol. The tumeric pits was buttery and crisp in the outside yet airy soft on the inside, the tumeric flavor wasnt strong - it was the perfect amount of tumeric flavor. It was the first time i tried goat cheese. It wasn't too bad! It had a tang to it but not bad! I also tried some of their salad (not pictured) but even that was fresh and loaded with healthy greens, i loved the dressing they typically use but i enjoyed the dressing that came with it. Overall, check this place if you want to try something new in Waianae!

    Who are you? Me. (I…read morewrote a bunch, and I hope it's worth your time reading). Growing up on a farm, I always felt I was poorer than the other kids. They got to go to the big fancy grocery stores like Kroger and Piggly Wiggly (still love that name!) to shop, while I got my vegetables from the dirt! Soups made from scratch with those same filthy (they were washed) vegetables! Homemade biscuits! My beef from cattle. My bacon from a pig! And, oh, this hurts! My eggs from a chickens butt!! How...unsanitary! Why was I being punished? My friends got theirs from nice styrofoam packages, boxes, plastic wrap. Fancy names and logos. Commercials, subliminally whispering, in my ear, how good life was from a can/bag/jar/box. My jellies were made at home! Smuckers! Smuckerssssss!!! I want Smuckers! The embarrassment of fresh fish, caught from our own pond. Ugh! All I really wanted was Gorton's Frozen Fish Sticks or just a Filet-o-Fish! How could I show my face in the town square? Hold my head up in school? That's a true story. I really felt that. Mahuahua 'Ai o Hoi is a native Hawai'ian land restoration project. It's goal to restore He'eia wetlands into naturally productive Kalo (from here called Taro) fields, with the end result being economic sustainability. But, what does that mean? It's to "Aloha Aina", and "a'o aku a'o mai." To "love the land, and to learn and share"...what else are we here for? Malama aina...caring for the land. In Hawai'ian culture the Taro was not only a food source but closely connected with the beginning of mankind. The first child of Wakea (the sky father) and Ho'ohokukalani (daughter to the earth mother, Papa) was stillborn, and buried, where it grew into a taro plant named Haloauaka or "long trembling stalk." The second child was Haloa, the father of mankind, and through this association, the taro became the "brother" of man. Pulling taro ain't no easy thing. You wallow out into the I'oi (terrace for farming taro), the mud and slime up to your waist, each step like walking in wet cement, and plant your heel on the mounds where the taro grows. Stomping all four corners of the plant deeply. The loosed stalk is then extracted from the mound by grabbing the potato like base, wrapping you hand around it and pulling. Mother Earth (Papa) doesn't give up the good stuff so easy, you gotta work for it. The mud really flies, it's a job, but what child doesn't relish the chance to get really, really, muddy. We are all children of the land. You are far enough, once here, off the beaten path, that all sound is vertically nullified. The rustling of the lu'au can be heard, as the wind blows the purplish-green leaves of the taro. This is wetland and He'eia stream feeds the Lo'i. They grow many CSA's, with onions, arugula, peppers, sweet potatoes, and Ho'i'o ferns to name a few. As I walked to the l'oi, a large number of high schoolers passed me by, all were covered in mud, and smiles. Working in the l'oi is a spiritual awakening. Leave behind negativity and know that even if you only pull one taro, you have freed the brother of man. I honestly believe that "We" are the generation that all future generations will look back to and say either, "They made the change that tipped the balance back" or "that was the beginning, the beginning of the end". Special Mahalo to Miss Leilani for including me...Aloha my friend. All visits are by appointment only.

    This FARM has all sorts of fascinating and educational opportunities you don't get in the city!…read more This is not a glamourous farm. It's dirty, stinky, and there are bugs and flies (wear bug spray). It's a small REAL farm. Find composting worms, free range chickens, ducks, horses, goats, pot bellied pigs, fruit trees and more. Classes and special tours available by appointment; check their calendar online for special events. They do aquaponics classes, worm classes, and more. We did a tour of the grounds which was $25 per family and included visits to the areas listed below. The kids loved it! (btw, the kids have to be able to walk, the terrain is uneven and there are no paths for the back half of the tour) LOCATION: The address says "Waimanalo" but it's closer to Olomana golf course and my GPS sent us to the wrong house in the valley by about 1/4 mile. You need to find this sign on the left side of the road just after a turn: http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HnskT8tSDaxi_ed8zLiIZg?select=ZOQ_xZEdGl1Nvtz64KOuWw#WOc5IsY4Oiw_7Yb5el8VaQ and once you drive in you'll still think your'e in "LOST" but drive in and park whereever there aren't animals. FOR SALE: In addition to the tour, we were able to buy some fresh eggs ($6/doz). It almost made us want to get two hens of our own until I came to my senses. They also sell composting worms ($40/pound) and have great pricing on worm bins ("can o worms" $125, and the "worm factory" $100). Those were the prices on the day we went this past summer, the prices may have gone up since then. Highlights according to the kids: KOI POND (I only saw one koi in there) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HnskT8tSDaxi_ed8zLiIZg?select=ZOQ_xZEdGl1Nvtz64KOuWw#aEBmGcGkleKSp9QJSsCdqQ AZOLA - never heard of this before but it grows on top of water so it looks like a nice patch of grass to run on. Hold on to your kids because they will try to run into it. They told us you can actually eat this too. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HnskT8tSDaxi_ed8zLiIZg?select=ZOQ_xZEdGl1Nvtz64KOuWw#ZOQ_xZEdGl1Nvtz64KOuWw AQUAPONICS - A symbiotic relationship between the fish and the plants. The fish make nitrogen which is used by the plants...the water is continually circulated to keep both populations happy. Cross the bridge to see all the pumped water used for the Aquaponics section of the farm http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HnskT8tSDaxi_ed8zLiIZg?select=ZOQ_xZEdGl1Nvtz64KOuWw#0TeRoQRSg5BqPFvKpKq2Sw CHICKENS - there were a lot of these guys running around the place. They seemed to be happy to see us. They are trained to poop over the crates, straight into the worm colony, who then process all that and turn it into vermicast, which is given to the fruit trees. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HnskT8tSDaxi_ed8zLiIZg?select=ZOQ_xZEdGl1Nvtz64KOuWw#D_UAiJNlyHZYp25nvSJ6PQ DUCKS - the kids just loved looking at all the strange looking feathered friends. http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/HnskT8tSDaxi_ed8zLiIZg?select=ZOQ_xZEdGl1Nvtz64KOuWw#-TzsXBF9TFHjZK2tR1I5tQ This is one of those places that you can take the kids once they've seen everything else and you want to get a more "real" experience.

Lots of animals which are living together with a natural way of processing their manure. All natural composting being processed within the farm. The composting worms helps to support making black gold fertilizer. Very lush botanical surroundings. Aquaponics growing with a unique way to move the water. Very impressive the designs to reuse the water around the farm. It looks like a collection of all kinds. It was worth the cost of an educational tour which covered a lot. Got to experiment it. Back to Nature near.
