Kupa‘a Organic Farms
Here’s a description of this wonderful farm, as posted on their website:
“Located at 1900′ elevation on the slopes of Haleakala, Maui, Kupa’a Farms grows a wide range of organic vegetables, fruits, and a fine blend of Brazilian catuai and kona typica coffees. Kupa’a (koo pa ah) means “firm” or “steadfast” in Hawaiian and describes the hard soil on our farm and our determination to amend and enrich it. The land was first cleared for corn and asparagus in 1979, and the farm went organic in 2003. Our farming principles are “rock solid” and sustainable.
Kupa’a Farms grows nearly 40 different kinds of fruit and vegetables with variation reflecting the change from winter to summer. A typical line up of crops includes, coffee, pineapple, potatoes, sweet potatoes, taro, lettuce, cabbage, broccoli, radishes, sweet corn, carrots, onions, fresh beans, mango, sugar cane, beets, kale, chard, lilikoi (passion fruit), eggplant, stringbeans, yacon, grapefruit, tangerines, banana, papaya, and a few herbs. We sell most of our produce through a CSA program here on Maui and our vegetables can be found in several restaurants on Maui. Our produce is also available every Saturday morning (early as we generally sell out by 9 am) at the Upcountry Farmers Market in Pukalani, located in the parking lot of the Kulamalu Shopping Center.”
