We specialize in agritourism experiences on the island of Hawai'i. Our visitor programs offer 2, 3 and 4 hour adventures on our little the farm which include hands-on experiences with the plants, animals and trees.
This is the very farm that inspired artist and author Sherri Carden to write the children's book series
Mocha Latte' with a Dash of Chili. You can meet Mocha Latte' (the miniature donkey), Dash (his best friend, the goat) and Chili Dog lives just down the street. To preview some of the books, click on the "Mocha Latte's Books" link above.
There are a number of other critters here including Lucy goose, Alfredo the white duck (who thinks he's a goose), Bunny Cakes, Cocoa Nibs and Oreo (pictured above), and many other friendly critters. Perhaps you will be inspired to create a story or two of your own while you're here!
We have overnight accommodations if you'd like to spend time here unwinding and reconnecting with nature.
Depending on what is in season, we can provide food preparation and slow food activities, art projects, writing, journaling and other hands-on projects for your visit which include harvesting native healing herbs, gourmet Hawaiian tea, macadamia nuts, oranges, tangerines, lemons, guavas, surinam cherries, dragonfruit, breadfruit, avocados, coffee, salad greens, sprouts and more.
We also have many projects going on which involve planting, digging, clearing, and many activities to promote sustainability and a healthy lifestyle.
This sanctuary is also the location setting for
Farm Diva Sherri Carden's "Beautiful Day" Farm-Improvement Show. Her television series features cooking, farm tasks, do-it yourself projects and cooking from the Island of Hawai'i. Featuring (of course) Mocha Latte', Dash and the other critters. To find out more about the shows, click on the "television shows" link above.
