Moloka'i
Part of a burgeoning organic farming scene on Molokaʻi (in contrast to the GM fields of Monsanto), Kumu Farms grows bananas, papayas, herbs, tomatoes, lettuce and much more. At its attractive store you can enjoy various fresh treats at picnic tables and buy produce for your condo or vacation house. The pesto is extraordinary.
The farm store is southwest of the airport; look for the signs off Hwy 460.
