The 90/80 model, 90% of our food is sourced from Hawaii, 80% from Oahu where the belief is that the freshest, best foods for you are closest to your backyard.
I ola no ke kino i ka mā’ona o ka ‘ōpū. The body enjoys health when the stomach is well filled.
Ike aku, ‘ike mai. Kōkua aku, kōkua mai. Pēlā ka nohona ‘ohana. Watch, observe. Help others and accept help. That is the family way.
Ua ola loko i ke aloha—he alii ka la’i, he ha Ku’ulani na. Life is an echo—what you give out comes back.
Freshly sourced ingredients from local farmers, hunters and gatherers.
Manoomin, called wild rice outside the Ojibwe culture, has played a central role in tribal life. It has spiritual attributes, and its discovery is recorded in legends. Traditional methods used by the Ojibwe people to harvest manoomin are still used today.
We offer the only USDA Certified Molokai Venison sourced ethically, and prepared with local organic spices. All our meats are totally natural and healthy, free of hormones and antibiotics.
Our cooking is infused with local spices and flavor, such as with turmeric. A humble little root, 'olena was probably one of the two dozen or so plants brought to Hawai`i by early Polynesian settlers in their voyaging canoes.
Taro is an important food source for the Hawaiians, also considered as their sacred elder brother. It is a completely hypoallergenic, versatile, mineralized, satiating vibrant tuber with unique and starchy richness which we use to make into everything from pie, “burgers,” fries and also served as a smooth, purple-ish, creamy staple dish called “poi.”
Fresh from the farm, mountain and sea, we invite you to join us for an experience you are sure to savor.

Reserve
Venison is good for you. We harvest it to control the population that has exploded on Molokai. Rather than just shooting and wasting the edible good healthy food we have worked hard to make it available to market. From lobbying in Washington and setting up procedures we have been able to be USDA Certified and the processing plant is also HACCP Certified.
Specialty Meats
Venison Meats – Burger, sausage, steaks, French racks, ribs
Alternately, we will also have availability of local ethically grown and harvested grass fed beef, Kauai Bison, Quail, Goat, Lamb, Island Fish and Deep Sea Shrimp
You may select from items such a poi, kalo, uala, ulu, nioi, mamaki and olena and have them done traditionally or redone in dishes from Italy, Spain and Mexico.
