Farm and Food Experience

A favorite for visitors and locals alike and as written about in [Cosmopolitan] (https://www.cosmopolitan.com/lifestyle/a42594336/ethical-hawaii-travel-responsible-tourism/), Forbes and AFAR. Common Ground's Farm and Food Experience offers a showcase of what grows on Kauai in our regenerative food forest: A collection of exotic and delicious foods brought to Hawai`i from all corners of the globe. Coffee, pineapple, tree tomato, kava, mamak'i, heart of palm, papaya, bananas, and more!

More importantly it demonstrates a model for how food can be grown in harmony(regeneratively) with nature, planted in concert so there is no need for imported fertilizers and pesticides. We discuss why Hawai'i shouldn't need to import 85+% of its food on a boat and what a robust local food system can do for communities everywhere. We believe a meal on Kauai should be unique and represent the abundance, flavors and cultures of the island.

The tour concludes with a coursed prix fixe meal to savor and enjoy while celebrating the delicious diversity that exists on Kauai all while exploring our mission here at Common Ground. 100% Island sourced because it should be, from the cooking oil to the seasonings. Feel free to grab beer or wine from the bar to relax into a perfect island evening in a beautiful tropical farm setting. We welcome children of all ages!

Arrive an hour before the tour for the easy 1/2 mile walk to the stone dam.
