Supporting Native Hawaiian owned businesses doesn't just start and stop in-store.
Now more than ever, mahiʻai across Hawaiʻi are honing in on how to get their ʻono produce straight to YOU—our community.
If you're looking for meaningful ways to connect to producers while supporting our lāhui, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s 10 Native Hawaiian Farms across the paeʻāina that you can shop from today (it's really that simple).
1. Polipoli Farms
Waiehu, Maui
Okay, maybe we're a little biased—but we truly believe in our products, and we had to share. Plus, we ship across the US!
Located in Waiehu, Maui, our ʻohana-run farm celebrates the authentic flavors of Nā Wai ʻEhā, bringing you teas and ʻono goodies rooted in Aloha ʻĀina.
Looking for something soothing? Try our ʻono tea blends like Māmaki + ʻUlu or ʻUhaloa + Lemongrass—the perfect pick-me-up any time of day. Craving something sweet yet still healthy? Our chewy bananas, made from apple bananas grown right here on our farm, are a favorite.

2. Hoʻoulu Punaluʻu
Punaluʻu, Oahu
Ladd Ah Choy and his ʻohana farm 25 acres in Punaluʻu, Oʻahu, growing kalo and other fresh produce with a focus on feeding their community.
What makes their hana so special is how easy you can get your hands on fresh poi + raw kalo.
If you live on Oʻahu, follow their Instagram page and posts for updates on when their kalo is available for purchase. From there, it’s super simple—order, pay via. Venmo, and pick ‘em up!
It’s a solid way to stay stocked with kalo while supporting a mahiʻai who continues the practices of our kūpuna.

3. Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi
Heʻeia, Oʻahu
Kākoʻo ʻŌiwi is a nonprofit dedicated to perpetuating Native Hawaiian practices like ʻāina stewardship, food production, educational outreach, and so much more.
Every purchase of their ʻono meaʻai—like Kūlolo Crunch, frozen steamed lau, or kalua pig—directly supports their work.
Oʻahu folks, check out their Pūʻai Subscription Box! You can choose weekly, bi-weekly, or monthly, and it comes with 2 pounds of frozen kalua pig, poi, steamed lau, and kūlolo, starting at $45.

4. Chang Farms
Mākena, Maui
This ʻāina has been stewarded by the Chang ʻohana for generations, and now Natasha and Deashia Chang are putting their own spin on a Hawaiʻi staple.
If you’re on Maui, you’ll want to catch their next Paʻi ʻAi Sundaes sale at the farm—featuring a lineup of local toppings that highlight familiar Hawaiʻi flavors in a new way.
They also run a weekday farm stand (Monday–Friday) with fresh, farm-grown produce like Papaya, Lilikoʻi, Soursop, Starfruit + more.
On top of that, they make their own goat’s milk loofah soap in scents like Tuberose and White Ginger (I wish smell-through-the-screen technology was invented for this very moment).
You can find it at Rooted in Wailuku (1942 Main St #103A) in-person and online.
Island: Maui
Shipping available: DM the farm directly on Instagram (@changfarms) to ask about shipping.
5. Hoʻōla Honey
North Kohala, Hawaiʻi Island
This ʻohana-run business has been working with bees since 2016, completing 300+ bee removals and relocating them to thrive in North Kohala.
What's special is they infuse their honey with Lāʻau Lapaʻau (Hawaiian plant medicine) to nourish your gut while satisfying your tastebuds.
From blends like “Kohala Blooms” sourced right from their backyard, to unique Hawaiʻi flavors like ʻŌlena, White Kiawe, and Nīoi, there are so many options to choose from. You can even get the benefits of their honey beyond the jar with their soaps and lip balm.
If you’re looking to meet the Hōʻola Honey ʻohana in-person, follow their (@ho.olahoney) for updates on pop-ups across Hawaiʻi.

7. Voyaging Foods
Waimānalo, Oʻahu
Founder Brynn Foster created her line of ʻulu, ʻuala, and kalo flours + dry mixes after the birth of her son, noticing a lack of healthy, allergy + gluten-free options on the market. What started with teething biscuits turned into a way to bring culturally rooted ingredients into everyday foods.
You can try mixes like the Lava Cookie Mix (kalo-based) or Taro Cakes (a Hawaiʻi spin on pancake mix).
If you’re not sure where to start, her e-book Native Flour Ancient Starch: Cooking with Hawaiian Taro Powder offers recipes and ideas to get you going.

9. Ahiki Acres
Waimānalo, Oʻahu
Haley and Matthew McKinnon co-founded Ahiki Acres after their move back home from upstate New York. Haley felt a calling to return to her roots and care for the ʻāina that raised her. They both went through the GoFarm program and have been farming since.
They make quality produce accessible to the Oʻahu community by aggregating from other local, organic farmers.
Find their goods in-person at the Kailua Town Farmers Market, held every Sunday. Pro-tip: visit Ahiki Acre’s Instagram (@ahiki_acres) or sign up for their newsletter to know what they’re selling every week.

10. Hoʻokuaʻāina
Maunawili, Oʻahu
Hoʻokuaʻāina is more than a farm. They’re “story farmers” growing both kalo and people through educational + mentoring programs.
If you’re on Oʻahu, I highly recommend utilizing their Kalo Hotline. Call 1-833-EAT-KALO to place an order for any one of these— kalo, lau, or poi—and they'll harvest it the same-day for you. You can also reach out via email at kalohotline@hookuaaina.org.
If you want to go beyond the plate, subscribe to their newsletter via their website and follow them on Instagram (@hookuaaina) for upcoming workdays + apprenticeship program openings.
