We have now been approved by the United States Department of Agriculture to ship flowers and foliage direct from our farm!

Kolealea is an Organic Farm with on-going Sustainability development; to become self-sufficient in the subsistence of our very lives. To feed ourselves, and to help feed our community. To return to a land-based lifestyle and remain connected with Nature, and to teach and assist others to do the same. We work to help continue the much needed positive change of the Ecology of the World.

We have a spiritual approach to everything that we do. We are committed to harmonious and peaceful farming, living. We are on a mission…to bring Humans and Nature back together and feel the Oneness with our plant Earth. We work with the land - the plants, animals, and all of Nature's spirits. We are working together with the Wonder of Nature, working to bring us into Balance and Harmony with all living things. We are here to assist others to do the same.

These are our Goals:
- To become as agriculturally, organically, and ecologically stable and producing as we can: to become as fully sustainable as is practical and possible for our property.
- To host and protect native plants.
- To protect and maintain the work done to date. - To nurture the usable plants that the land naturally provides.
- To become an educational sustainable farming property on Maui, and become of such a value to our communities that the government will support our endeavor.
- To market the education, training, and hands-on experience we offer for complete sustainable living throughout the U.S., the World. To become of such great assistance that our own communities will support and encourage us.
- To seek funding and other assistance with the development of our farm and dwelling sustainability and education center to include contributions, grants, subsidies - corporate, government, private.

You can help us in this cause.  Please Donate.

We have now teamed up with a Sustainable Subsistent Homestead expert, Art Cover, who has graciously accepted our invitation and request (we suppose it was more like begging…) to guide our next phase of development - a much more serious focus on the sustainability of this property. He has also agreed to become a member of the team of Educators we are working to put together. Click Here for Art's website and to download his book "Adaptive Ecology" The book Adaptive Ecology, expresses the opinions of the author and do not necessarily relect the opinions of Kolealea, but we do believe there is significantly valuable information on sustainability within.
For more detail on our plans continuing the work, please see our "plans and goals".

In our beginning in 2006 we had mostly a Roseapple forest, some bamboo, an orange tree, some bananas and avocado trees. Now our botanical list counts over 50 edible plants. Some of them will fruit soon and others will take up to 7 years before we see a crop. Please see details under 'Our Crops'.

Kolealea Farm can be found in a secluded setting in ‘Upcountry’ Maui, and offers both privacy and convenience for your learning experiences. At Kolealea we enjoy ideal temperatures (about 80 degrees F) year-round, and we are only minutes away from all you need: historic towns with restaurants and unique boutiques; world-class windsurfing, surfing, swimming and walking beaches; and Haleakala Crater National Park. The airport and central shopping districts are 25 minutes away and the famous ‘road to Hana’ is at our back door. Our own workshops are offered through Malamalama Farm & Center, a non-profit organization
