This mango is the only variety that is scentless.The Rapoza mango was developed by the Department of Horticulture, University of Hawai'i at Manoa and is named in honor of Herbert Rapoza, a worker at the Poamoho Experimental Farm.

Think Local: Carrots
Support your local farmer, buy locally grown carrots. We have several varieties, rainbow in bunches, loose nelsons and sugar snacks. These carrots have been hand planted, weeded, harvested and cleaned, unlike the mechanized mainland carrots.
