The Kauai Food Tour – North Shore begins at an organic farm where you’ll enjoy a refreshing treat made from fruit grown at the farm.

After a great deal of extremely fun research, I happy to announce the launch of two new food tours. I’ve partnered with amazing people who have a passion for great food and whose cups overflow with aloha. These new Kauai food tours introduce guests to our favorite places and people who make fresh food from scratch, using local ingredients whenever possible. I selected each location based on the hundreds of articles I’ve written about food and farming on Kauai and I also teamed up with a professional tour guide. Continue Reading →

Last December, when I had the pleasure of covering Merriman’s Fish House for MidWeek Kauai, I learned how dedicated Peter Merriman is to fresh, local food. I was so impressed, I called the article, “Where Farmers Are Rock Stars.” Peter is a mighty force that encourages the livelihood of his sources, nurturing their success and the local economy.

My education was further enhanced when Dan and I videotaped the restaurant’s executive chef Mark Arriola for the Kauai County Farm Bureau’s Kauai Grown campaign. The website is up now, and next Monday’s post will showcase Kauai Grown. If you’d like to learn more about Merriman’s, and watch Mark prepare a signature salad that’s on the menu, click here to watch the video.   Continue Reading →
