As the former Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) manager for the Kauai Farm Connection (KFC), I can tell you this organic farm in Kilauea grows good food. We’re happy to announce that Art Cafe Hemingway is now using their fruit and vegetables, which can be found on the gourmet European brunch menu.

If you like weekly boxes of farm-fresh, organic produce, join KFC for a new CSA season beginning October 1. If you prefer, sign up for customized weekly boxes. Deliveries are made to Papaya’s Natural Foods and Cafe in  Kapaa, or you can pickup at the farm In Kilauea. Continue Reading →

Unfortunately, we had to cancel our inaugural culinary tour. Our deadline to register was June 12, which enabled everyone to gather the necessary ingredients for our guests. When the deadline came, we had one person. Over the next two days we got enough calls to do the tour, but it had already been cancelled.

We are not giving up easily! As my husband reminded me, Thomas Edison tried over 9,000 times before he invented the lightbulb. Our next tour is July 13, and will feature the same line up. For a refresher, check out our culinary tour page.

We are also working on a new north shore tour, and sumptuous details will be forthcoming. Continue Reading →

Aloha Kauai Tasters. I got a very sad call from a distressed vendor last Saturday. Through sobs, she said the Hanalei Farmers Market, run by the nonprofit Hale Halawai ‘O Hanalei, had been shutdown.

Many livelihoods have been devastated by this closure, and few have options to replace the income made from that market. I am told that the market manager is working on obtaining the proper permits, and the market will eventually reopen. Continue Reading →
