Aloha! We're a small-scale Urban Farm from Kailua, Oahu specializing in Native Hawaiian Mea & Kumu la'au. We were inspired to begin this journey after my father, Grant Wilhelm Enos, had passed. He was a strong believer in Herbal Medicines & La'au Lapa'au. Now that he was gone, we took on the kuleana to care for his plants which helped with healing from the sudden loss. This took me on a path of self discovery, learning about my roots and connecting to my culture via the 'aina. "Lo'i Therapy" is a real remedy to depression, stress & crappy days!

My husband and I decided to leave our careers in the Auto Industry to pursue a more natural & culturally based way of life. We realized there is a need and demand for Native Mea & more importantly a need for knowledge.
Many of us, Hawaiians either "know" or "don't know", if you know what I mean. "ai'Kea or I no'kea"....I was a part of the "don't know" but "AiKea"! We met Farmers, Cultural Practitioners, and Kupuna from Maui, Hawaii Island, and Oahu eagerly sharing their 'ike in hopes to perpetuate our Ancient Traditions. Getting in the Lo'i from each major Hawaiian Island feels like a root-awakening. Let's get native roots, and kanaka rooted back in our 'aina!
