Kahuku Farms is a working farm and café at 56-800 Kamehameha Highway in Kahuku. It grew out of two Japanese plantation families, the Matsudas and the Fukuyamas, who farmed side by side for generations and later merged their operations. Today the parent company, Matsuda-Fukuyama Farms, grows crops such as papaya, apple banana, long eggplant and lūʻau leaf sold under the Kahuku Brand label, and the fourth generation runs the public café, tours and gardens on the front of the farm.
The café serves paninis, smoothies, farm pizza and açaí bowls made with fruit grown in the fields, including what a sign at the farm calls the “World’s First Hawaiian Grown Acai Bowl.” Visitors can wander the café gardens during business hours, book the Grand Tour tractor-pulled wagon ride, or take the Aloha ʻĀina Legends Walking Tour. The farm lists hours as 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. Thursday through Monday, closed Tuesday and Wednesday.
