21 Degrees Estate Cacao Farm

21 Degrees Estate Cacao Farm Welcome to 21 Degrees Estate, the most charming cacao farm in Hawaii! Aloha! When we each retired from the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Our vision?

Air Force respectively, we knew that we wanted to remain in Hawaii and that we wanted to find a place and create a space that would not only serve as a magical and beautiful surrounding in which our children could thrive, but also one which could be shared with others. After nearly a year of looking at properties, we knew we had found just the spot in September 2014. Already a farm with mature agr

iculture like apple-bananas, coconut, starfruit, turmeric, avocado, mango, guava, lilikoi and beautiful heliconia, bird-of-paradise and red and pink ginger flowers, we decided to plant cacao. The windward coast of O`ahu is fondly referred to by chocolatiers like Madre Chocolate's Co-founder and ethnobotanist, Nat Bletter, as the "Napa Valley" of chocolate due to its unique micro-climate, soil and moisture. We are excited to be joining other Hawaii cacao farmers in cultivating this novel and unique fruit and have christened our farm "21 degrees Estate" due to the latitude location of Oahu, Hawaii. We set to planting nearly 800 cacao trees and waited to see if they'd grow! fortunately for us, they not only grew, but thrived. We aim to be mindful of ensuring a diverse farm free of harmful pesticides and one which uses renewable energy sources whenever possible. Ours is a 10-acre cacao farm now in our 6th production year where our harvests are yielding more pods exponentially every year. We've learned a lot along the way and love sharing our journey with visitors. We still think of 21 Degrees Estate as very much a work in progress. But we believe the journey is as important as the final outcomes and are looking forward to the continued serendipity of events that have brought us to this point! We invite you to join us on the journey going forward! "To create a delightfully diverse, safe, healthy, and just space with clean air, water, soil and power --economically, equitably, ecologically, and elegantly enjoyed!"

Our goal? "To grow great cacao for great chocolate!"

Here is an interesting story I just heard from the pineapple network; award-winning ti leaf plant from 21 Degrees Estate! The hits just keep on coming! Ronson, our number one Oompa-Loompa, managing our quaint nursery; cacao of course, Manila palm trees, heliconia, ginger, pikake and ti leaf, amongst many others. We’ve harvested and replanted thousands of ti leaf plants over the years. So just today, Mother’s Day 2026; our ti plant’s new mother won second place in the Garden Club of Honolulu’s 2026 Garden Show, held at the Honolulu Museum of Art. Born and raised at 21 Degrees Estate, growing up, getting adopted, moving to the big city, getting all dressed up, entering this big competition and winning prizes! The magic of Kahalu’u and 21 Degrees Estate!
