We have amazing organic dryland taro from Kupa'a Farms, grown in Kula. “Kupa’a” means “firm” or
“solid” in Hawaiian and although the name originated in reference to the
rocky soil here, it now reflects the solid, life-giving practices that
we use to grow food. The farm is 4 acres of cleared land in the dry leeward slopes of
Halaekala. Soil is the heart of any agricultural operation and Kupa'a does their
best to keep the soil alive and healthy and work hard to limit
the amount of erosion. They use compost,
compost tea, cover crops, perennial vegetative barriers to limit
erosion, and by avoiding bare soil fallow. More about the farm
