Thank you for the incredible response to our invitation to reserve locally grown kalo. We’re so grateful for the interest and for the opportunity to share what we grow with our community. 🌱

Because of the large response, our team needs a little more time to harvest and prepare everything. We’ll be harvesting on Thursday, so pickup will now be Friday to give our team the time needed to get everything ready.

Thank you for your patience and understanding, and for supporting local agriculture. We’re grateful to be able to grow food for our community. 💚

Please check your emails to confirm your order and for more details on pickup.

SHARING OUR KALO HARVEST 🌱

Our kalo is ready, and the ʻāina has given us more than enough to share!

This Thursday, we’ll be harvesting kalo from the farm, and we’d love to share the abundance with our community.

If your ʻohana could use fresh kalo or lau, or you’d like huli to plant and grow at home, we’d be happy to share some with you.

There is no cost, simply reserve what your ʻohana would like, and we’ll have it ready for you Thursday afternoon.

Friday Pickup | 12 PM–6 PM

Quantities will depend on Thursday’s harvest, and reservations are required.

There’s something powerful about knowing where your food comes from—and knowing the people who grow it.

Here in Hawaiʻi, that connection matters more than ever. We import the vast majority of the food we eat, which means our food system is incredibly vulnerable. A storm, earthquake, shipping disruption, or other natural disaster could quickly change what is available on our grocery store shelves.

Local agriculture isn’t just about buying fresher food. It’s about building a stronger, more resilient food system right here at home.

It’s knowing your farmer.
It’s knowing your food was grown in our soil.
It’s having access to food that didn’t have to travel thousands of miles to reach your plate.
And it’s investing in the people and farms that help keep Hawaiʻi fed.

Fresh food feels different when you know the hands that grew it. 🌱

Support your local farmers. Know your farmer. Feed your community.

What we feed our keiki in the early years is about so much more than nutrition. 🥕🌿

The first five years are a formative time for developing food preferences and eating habits. During these years, keiki are learning what foods they like, becoming familiar with new tastes and textures, and watching the people around them for cues about food.

Research shows that:

🥦 Early and repeated exposure to a variety of foods can increase acceptance of new foods.

🥒 It can take many exposures before a child learns to enjoy a new food.

🥕 Children are more likely to explore foods when they see the adults around them enjoying them.

🍅 Involving keiki in growing, choosing and preparing food can help build positive relationships with food.

This is one of the reasons we love growing food with keiki.

There is something different about picking a carrot from the earth, pulling herbs from the garden, smelling a tomato straight from the vine or choosing what you’d like to take home.

We aren’t just growing vegetables. We’re giving keiki opportunities to experience food with all of their senses, build curiosity around where it comes from, and develop a relationship with fresh, nourishing food from the very beginning. 🌱

And you can experience this with us! Our U-pick is available during our Open Farm sessions, held on select Saturdays each month, giving your keiki the chance to get their hands in the garden and pick fresh produce right from where it grows.

Those little experiences can become the foundation for a lifetime of healthy habits. 💚

Kilo — to observe, to watch closely. 🌱🐞

There is so much that happens when we give keiki the space to slow down.

To notice the ladybug crawling across a leaf.
To wonder where it came from.
To watch what it does.
To collect it, study it, and maybe discover ten more questions along the way.

At Keiki and Plow, we want to create space for this kind of curiosity.

Space to kilo 🔎

To slow down enough to really notice the natural world around us, follow an interest, ask questions, get a little dirty, and see where their curiosity takes them.

We don’t need to rush in with all the answers. One of the best thing we can do is give keiki the time, space and support to explore what has caught their attention.

There is so much to discover when we slow down long enough to see it. 🌺

A mud kitchen just makes sense. 🤎🌿

A place where dirt becomes dinner, flowers become cake, sticks become spoons and a handful of rocks can become anything a child imagines.

The best mud kitchens aren’t about having the right toys. They’re about having enough open-ended materials to let kids decide what they become.

Pots, pans, colanders and wooden bowls.
Water, sinks and endless things to pour, mix and fill.
Spatulas, spoons, mortar and pestles in all kinds of shapes and textures. Muffin tins, baking trays and plenty of open storage. Tongs, ladles, measuring cups and strainers. Fresh herbs, flowers, seeds, sticks and bark. Pretend food made from wood or stone- or simply picked up from the earth.

And perhaps the most important ingredients of all: imagination, freedom and time.

Because when we give children the space and materials to create without an end goal, the possibilities are endless. 🌱

We’re so grateful to Aggie | Play Rocks for their generous donation to our mud kitchen and for helping us build a space where keiki can get messy, experiment, create, play and make a little magic of their own. 🤎

This is what play should feel like.

After the winds come the cleanup, the checking in, the helping hands, and the rebuilding. 🌿

We’re thinking of our Keiki & Plow community as we recover from Tropical Storm Lala. We hope you and your loved ones are safe, your homes are sound, and that the days ahead bring ease as we clean up and put things back together.

Storms have a way of reminding us how much we need one another. A neighbor with a chainsaw. A helping hand clearing a fallen branch. Sharing supplies, food, a generator, a ride—or simply checking in on someone who may be having a harder time.

Community is one of our greatest strengths here in Hawaiʻi. 💚

Take care of yourselves, take care of one another, and remember that recovery doesn’t have to happen alone.

From our ʻohana to yours, we’re wishing everyone safety, strength, and an easy road to cleanup. 🌱

🌺 Aloha, ʻohana. As Hurricane Lala approaches, we’re sending our love and wishing our entire community safety.

The farm has always reminded us of the importance of preparation, resilience, and caring for one another—and those things matter especially now.

Please take a little time today to prepare your home and ʻohana:

💧 Water + food: Have enough drinking water and nonperishable food for up to 14 days, along with pet food and essential supplies.

🔦 Power outage: Charge phones and battery packs. Have flashlights, batteries, and a battery-powered radio ready.

💊 Medications: Refill prescriptions and gather essential medications and medical supplies.

🏠 Secure your home: Bring in outdoor furniture, toys, tools, trash cans, and anything that could become airborne. Clear gutters and drains.

🐕 Plan for pets: Have food, water, carriers, medications, and supplies ready.

📄 Protect important documents: Keep IDs, insurance information, and other important records somewhere safe from water.

📱 Stay informed: Follow official guidance from Hawaiʻi Emergency Management Agency, your county, and the National Weather Service. Know your evacuation routes and where you would go if needed.

🚨 If officials tell you to evacuate, please don’t wait.

And check on your neighbors—especially kūpuna, families with young keiki, and anyone who may need extra help.

From our ʻohana at Keiki & Plow to yours: stay safe, stay informed, and take care of one another. 🌱🤙🏽

May our islands be protected, and may everyone come through this storm safely. ❤️
