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:
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.

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.
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 |
