So, all you people out there who have never visited Waimanalo Country Farms, this is your chance. I did the hay ride. You get to hear a live story from the driver. No such thing as prerecording. It's like a historic museum ride about this farm. This farm strictly ran by a family of six generation if I remember correctly. I also got to try their lovely pumpkin pie and sweet tea. They were extremely fresh and good. I like to believe that they made it from scratch since they have all the ingredients.

It was our first day visiting Hawaii and still quite early in the day after checking in at our…read morehotel, renting our car and also checking out local eateries at Waikiki before coming down to this side of the island. We visited because we saw ads of the pumpkin patch and wanted to check it out ourselves. Military gets an entry discount for visiting too. This place also offers a riding tour on one of the trailers, there's also one for kids on a different ride. The most interesting part is the farm, we love seeing cute and small animals, the goats were the most active at the location, the donkeys were also loud. You can also feed the goats by visiting the food booth and paying one of the staff members for a cup of dried green bites. We took lots of pics, it was getting hot for us but what ever, it's Hawaii. Our favorite part was the sunflower field, it was away from the crowd and we can choose any lane to take pics, just watch out for bees if you're afraid of them or can't tell between wasps, yellow jackets or bees. It looked like a lot of the good pumpkins were already picked out so the pumpkin field looked pretty decent, the swing that's at the pumpkin patch area was a nice touch though.

Incredible. My wife…read moreand I had been eyeing egg prices for months. We fortunately purchased a stack of 60 medium eggs while grocery shopping just prior to the spike in prices for $22. Needless to say, there hadn't been many options that supported that price point - though more and more are slowly reappearing. We decided that if we were going to pay a premium for our set of eggs, they'd have to be good - and we wanted the best. OK Poultry seems to have earned themselves a reputation over several decades for the freshness and quality of their eggs. A little backstory, the restaurant I took my wife out to on our first date also got their TKG eggs from OK Poultry. Then we learned that our friend's father who is also a chef, would come to pick up eggs from here as well. Over the years, we've heard more and more stories about these famous eggs, but we never really had the opportunity to head out to nalos just for eggs - until this past weekend. Coming off a 3+ day water fast, I was eating a lot of eggs as an easily digestible source of protein and boy those TKG cravings hit. So, we made a trip out to OK Poultry and showed up early, well before opening, not knowing what the situation was with the lines. Met a nice fellow who said he'd be getting his eggs there since he was a kid and that all the decor you see was there since the 70s. After picking up two trays, we headed straight for the in-laws house where we cracked one of these beauties over hot rice. Fantastic. Mixed with that umami rice, winnahz. We left some for my wife's parents while also delivering some to my own parents - because what says "I love you" more than the gift of eggs? We'll probably be back in a week or so for more. There's a noticeable difference in taste and we find these eggs particularly enjoyable even if you have to pay just a tiny bit of a premium for what could arguably be the best eggs on the island.

We have a fruit stand selling our daily harvested fruits from our mature trees, and an assortment of homemade delicious tropical juices. Fruits for sale vary depending on seasons. For example, mangoes are primarily available in summer and durians are in the winter. Please call for more information on availability. Stolen from - https://www.frankiesnurseryllc.com/ Da wahine heard about Frankie's from one of her friends and was adamant about visiting the farm. So off the farm we went... Drive slow, not need to ruin your car, the road is a bit rough when you start going deep into the nursery. Frankie's is on the Windward side, but basically in the mountains. You really need to know where you are going, it's most definitely off the beaten path. Cell reception starts to get much weaker... almost non existent. There are a healthy variety of plants for you to purchase, Frankie's is after all a nursery. But the main focus of this trip was to try the exotic fruits. They sell a variety of exotic fruits from around the world. The staff are very knowledgeable and friendly and will gladly tell you about the fruits. They do have cut fruit platters for you to try, just make sure you bring a cooler bag, it's a journey onto itself to get here. There are few picnic tables in the back for you to enjoy fresh fruits, along with a hand washing station and a restroom. #ExoticFruits: ~ BLACK SAPOTE topped off with Whipped Cream - 5/5 Amazing. A MUST TRY! I never had anything like this. Nature's Chocolate Pudding!! ~ Exotic Fruit platter - 4.5/5 The platter changes on a regular basis... depending on availability and seasons. I never heard of some of these fruits. The best way to try a little of everything. Some of the fruits were delish, some very strange. I'd love to return and try some of the other fruits.

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.

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.

She is also very knowledgeable about the plants and in general has a good energy and easy to talk to. The location is behind a gated area, so you need to call the number to get in.
