It's 1.5 acres and has a small spring-fed pond. As with most farms or gardens, things are constantly being re-done, re-shaped, and re- thought. Our farm is also a demonstration site for various natural gardening techniques. We are committed to sustainability and high yields through use of organic materials, recycling, and ensuring soil balance as nature intended.

We grow bananas, taro, ti leaf, floral gingers, and raise ducks and geese there. I like to bring in new species of plants and trees whenever I get the chance from visiting neighboring farms, nursuries, or trips to the Big Island. And I bring in the different varieties of ducklings, and goslings, which eventually get big and turn into noisy adults with interesting behaviors - geese are the fun to watch as they're generally proud and bold birds, and also you'll really understand how the term "silly goose" originated.

Friends, and guests like to visit, and we occasionally bump into people who rather drop by to purchase some of the produce. (We do sell and deliver to you if you're "along the way.") But as this is a small operation, and we're lucky if we break-even on sales, it's probably best to call first to see if we currently have what you want.

In Kahaluu, it's a welcome retreat to someone like me who have a day job in the city. It's an interesting aspect as it makes it so easy to spin a few duck tales to tell.

The geese (African, Chinese, and Toulouse), however, are still being fattened up and won't be ready until August -- unless you like the young and skinny types... Our prices are competitive: we sell the best duck eggs and goose as far as I know in the State, so you get what you pay for. (For example, ask any duck egg eater, and she'll tell you that those eggs from Taiwan and Mainland China are horrible: they're mostly rotten and carry a foul taste. The theory is that those farms don't have refridgeration, they use DDT, and the shipping takes too long. A definite reality about those foreign imported Chinese eggs is spoken of in this FDA report.) Our stuff, bound by U.S. EPA laws, and ourselves carrying an organic gardening and farming philosophy and practice -- definitely no pesticides, chemical fertilizers, or industrial wastes -- are good, money-back guaranteed.
