Kai ʻĀina Farm

Where the menu starts

Chef Kai cooks with what the island is offering that week, and a lot of it comes from his farm in the hills of Hāmākua.

Hāmākua is the rainy, green side of the island, above the sea cliffs. What’s ready on the farm goes into his kitchen, so your menu depends partly on the season. What the farm doesn’t grow, he buys from fishermen and growers he knows across the island.

It also means he can tell you where almost everything on the plate came from, and usually who grew it.

Take some home

Provisions is small-batch sauces and pantry goods made from the season’s harvest. You’ll find them at the farmers market.

The Kai ʻĀina Foundation

Hands in the soil

The farm is also where the Foundation’s Mālama Sessions will happen: days of planting, harvesting, and cooking together, so more people learn to grow and cook from this land.
