Poamoho Organic Produce
Poamoho Organic Produce is the largest certified organic farm on Oahu, overlooking the North Shore and nestled between Poamoho Gulch and Oahu’s highest peak, Mt Ka’ala.
They specialize in tropical fruits (mango, papaya, lychee, longan, avocado, breadfruit, jackfruit, citrus) and also grow a variety of herbs. They have also started adding vegetables to their line up. They are certified on an annual basis to be in compliance with the USDA’s National Organic Standards.
According to their website “We are involved with a number of agricultural organizations and programs in Hawaii, work with University of Hawaii scientists to conduct organic trials, and provide other educational and experimental opportunities to researchers. For example, UH graduate students are currently conducting a trial to determine the nitrogen-fixing effects of a ground cover we use called ‘golden glory’.” Cool!
You can find their produce on the island of Oahu: Whole Foods, as well as local health food stores and small retailers on the North Shore. They also supply Alan Wong’s signature King Street restaurant and The Pineapple Room at Macy’s Ala Moana. Chefs at Turtle Bay Resort’s restaurants in Kahuku also source produce from Poamoho. They also supply Holoholo General Store on Wheels.
Poamoho also offers educational tours of their farm.
