Waimānalo Country Farms is a family working farm on Lupe Street in Waimānalo. According to the farm, it covers 52 acres and spans six generations of one family. Its history says it started in 1948 as Golden Melon Farm, grew truck-farm vegetables and later 13 varieties of melons, then switched to corn for nearly four decades. Shawn and Dominic Kadooka, the current owners, took over the farm in 2001.
In 2010 the farm added a pumpkin patch, its first sunflower fields and its fresh-squeezed NaloMade lemonade. During events, visitors can walk the pumpkin patch and sunflower fields and stop by the country market and grub stand for lemonade, farm honey, handmade gifts and cornbread. The farm is open to the public only during special events. The rest of the year it is a private working farm, and the farm asks people not to visit outside event times.
The 2026 Fall Harvest Festival runs through Nov. 11, according to Hawaii News Now. The farm lists cash admission of $10 for kamaʻāina and military with ID and $12 general Monday through Thursday, and $12 and $15 Friday through Sunday. Card payments add a 3.5% service fee plus tax, and keiki 2 and under are free. Last entry is 4 p.m. Pumpkins ($2 to $30) and sunflowers ($3 each) cost extra.
