Deep green mountains and taro fields exude calm for all who roam the area, whether you see them while driving or on foot during a farm tour. Taro farms are occasionally open for guests to see the operations, talk with farmers and later taste the poi created from these incredible plants that grow well with plentiful water and with Kauai’s climate.
Fishing in Hanalei Bay is an opportunity to spend time on a historic pier and maybe even get your own fresh catch for dinner. If you’d prefer to taste and tour, check out the Hale Halawai Farmer’s Market, a Saturday event that will give you a complete sense to f community. Handmade crafts, exotic fruits and vegetables, native flowers and music all provide a lively atmosphere as you munch your way through the market. You can also talk directly with farmers and find out for which restaurants they provide ingredients, a great way to round out your farm to fork experience. Or, opt to take home your seasonings, gourmet items, fresh baked goods and other finds to make a great dinner in your vacation rental’s gourmet kitchen. The Hale Halawai Farmer’s Market is also a great place to select picnic items.
