Big Island Farms

Big Island Farms is an organic permaculture farm and educational center founded by Gordon Goff, who arrived on the Big Island in 1989. Spanning 64 acres along the Hamakua Coast, the farm grows over 200 species of edible and medicinal plants, including macadamia nuts, coconuts, cacao, taro, banana, papaya, turmeric, and ginger. It also maintains a working apiary that produces raw, unheated honey. Visitors can book a privately guided farm tour that includes a tasting platter of freshly harvested produce. An on-site cafe serves espresso drinks, island-grown teas, and hand-baked vegan goods, with every product sourced from the farm or a local partner. The farm also offers a workshop series and educational programs rooted in permaculture and regenerative design. Learn more on their About Page.
