KualoaGrown is the brand of Kualoa Ranch’s diversified agricultural operation. Our team of 45 staff grow, cultivate, and raise food for Hawai’i and its visitors. This includes 60 different crops, a variety of tropical flowers, and the production of five types of proteins (beef, pork, shrimp, oysters, and lamb), making us one of the most diverse farming operations in the state.
We take immense pride in everything we produce while supporting the local community with high-quality, responsibly-raised food. In addition to cultivating great products, our agricultural efforts also aid in Hawaii’s island food security with 100% of our harvest being consumed locally, helping to support a healthy food system and island community.
Kualoa has always had a strong ethic for caring for the land. Conservation efforts are carried out by our agriculture and stewardship teams who carry out native plant plantings, invasive species control, and pasture management.
