Many people who aren’t from Hawaii are surprised to learn that our beautiful islands are, in fact, hugely agricultural. From sprawling coffee and macadamia nut farms to massive cattle ranches, the Aloha State is home to countless agricultural ventures. While each of these farms is incredible in its own way, there is only one farm we know of that is home to goats, chickens, bees, and plenty of produce.
Welcome to Kauai Kunana Dairy, a truly one-of-a-kind farm where you’ll find everything from goat cheese and farm fresh eggs to local honey and organic produce. Nestled on the northern side of Kauai in Kilauea and established in 1979, this unique farm is an undiscovered gem.
