With more than 10 years of experience as a professional writer, Megan holds a degree in Mass Media from her home state of Minnesota. 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.
Many people are surprised to learn that the Hawaiian Islands are home to countless incredible farms, ranches, and sprawling fields in addition to our pristine beaches in a variety of colors and towering verdant mountains. And while you undoubtedly will find a variety of specialty farms here in Hawaii — you won’t find macadamia nut, coffee, vanilla, and cacao farms anywhere else in America — this roadside farm stand offers a little bit of everything and is so worth a visit.
Nestled off the beaten path in the exotic rainforests of Maui’s coast along the historic Hana Highway is a tropical farm, marketplace, and grill just waiting to be discovered.
Not only does this roadside destination support local agriculture and the community at large, but it’s a convenient, one-stop shop for fresh Maui-grown produce, locally made products, coffee, snacks, and even full meals.
Plate lunches, burgers, and sandwiches are served with creative sides like curry potato salad, turmeric rice, tropical slaw, and green papaya salad — yum!
Utilizing bananas picked fresh from the farm, raw, organic sugarcane, and fresh butter, this banana bread is made fresh in small batches every day and comes in six different varieties. For a unique taste, try their macadamia nut, chocolate chip, or pineapple banana bread.
So, what are you waiting for? While the Hana Highway is famous for its scenic vistas, beach access, and waterfalls, you'll be missing out if you don't stop at Hana Farms the next time you tackle this crazy drive.
Hana Farms is open daily from 8 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. For more information, visit their website or follow them on Facebook. Have you ever been to this roadside Hana eatery? Share your experiences and opinions in the comments below, as well as your favorite stops along the Hana Highway.
