Restoring East Maui’s capacity to feed Hawaiʻi
The Hawaiian people are capable of producing an abundance of food by farming at the source, and with the natural flow of stream water from mauka (upland) to makai (sea).
East Maui Farm is an initiative to inspire the return to Hawaiian natural farming in order to re-materialize local food security goals.
East Maui Farm is a conglomerate of independently operated kuleana initiatives, each working diligently throughout East Maui to increase the region’s agricultural assets.
Our goal is environmental and community well-being through the implementation of Hawaiian land management principles.
This co-op is particularly committed to the revival of kalo for the purpose of restoring the Country of Hawaii’s true identity.
We maintain a registry of dedicated volunteers that contribute kuleana at their favored farms and restoration sites.
Our vision is a thriving network of Stewards that uplift ‘aina and ‘Ohana.

Much of the ancient agricultural, yield-producing infrastructure of East Maui is still in tact. We are supporting the removal of invasive species in these areas so that we can serve our fullest potential; providing ethically grown, local food for community.
Hawai‘i’s ability to feed Hawai‘i is dependent upon consistency of stream flow, access to land and active participation by both its inhabitants, and guests. Government must find ways to enhance its processes to expedite collaboration for widespread environmental and cultural restoration to occur.
Hawai‘i Life is a kuleana (stewardship responsibility), not a real estate company.
