Oko‘a Farms

Oko‘a Farms – a 12-acre, family-run farm located in lower Kula, Maui. This farm practices “full-circle farming,” from creating its own fertilizers and compost to irrigating its fields with enriched water from their tilapia pond. Oko‘a grows “chef-inspired” produce like purple daikon, purple carrots, black raspberries, chayote squash and much, much more!
