Kūʻono Farm

Who We Are

A small regenerative farm rooted in community, education, and stewardship of the land.

Our Story

Kūʻono Farm was created with a simple mission: to grow beautiful food and flowers while caring for the land that sustains us.

Located on the slopes of Haleakalā in Makawao, Maui, our farm combines regenerative agriculture, conservation, education, and community. Every season brings new opportunities to learn, volunteer, and experience agriculture firsthand.
