O'o Farm in Kula

O’o Farm is a unique and divergent multi- faceted operation that showcases a working farm like you’ve never seen before. Located in the misting forest of Waipoli, Kula, Maui, the 8.5 acre farm sustains numerous crops that have been developed from the virgin land. In a true pioneering spirit, over the past seven years the farm has expanded operations to now include greenhouses and a burgeoning agri-tourism operation. At the same time becoming intimate with the venue’s unique microclimate, flora and fauna and progressing in a manner respectful to the farm as a living organism in harmony with its surrounding environment.

Volunteers meet at O’o Farms at 8:45 each Wednesday morning in Kula. The project work lasts from 8:45 until 11:30 and includes assorted farm chores.

Volunteers are asked to be sure to wear sturdy shoes and to bring a light jacket that you don’t mind getting a little dirty.  In addition, bring some water and plenty of sunscreen. Gloves and gardening tools are provided.

Be sure to call (808) 249-8811 in advance to sign up!
