“Love For The Land”
Starting the tour with guide Ancil Clancy.
Tucked away off a small road and at the edge of changing climates, O`o Farm in Kula, Maui is a rare and educational find. The tour, which includes a farm-to-table lunch experience, starts with a breathtaking view of Central Maui and ends with satisfied taste buds, all while learning about their diverse flora hands on. Wide open spaces where the elements and temperature can vary so greatly aren’t meant for everyone, but working under these conditions, the dedicated staff at O`o farm have built a thriving operation. Covering eight and half acres at 3,500 ft. elevation, this location has the best climate to provide for one of the most diverse farms. In 2000, Louis Coulombe and Stephan Bel-Robert purchased this basically untouched land with the dream to provide local produce to restaurants. They currently do just that by providing 60 different crop selections to several well-known Lahaina, Maui establishments: Pacific`O, Feast at Lele and Aina Gourmet Market.
