Pictures from O‘o Farms on Maui, Pacific‘O's farm. Here, we saw things grown that we've never seen grown in Hawaii before. Like stone fruit (peaches and plums) and artichokes(!!!!) They're not exactly space efficient, so they're grown more for the novelty.
O‘o Farms is an 8.5 acre organic farm that also adheres to biodynamic principles, which basically treats each farm as a unique, living organism. Biodynamic agriculture acknowledges the impact of less concrete elements on the farm by following an astronomical sowing and planting calendar. Farm manager Richard Clark admits that the effect of these elements (e.g., the moon and planets) may be "beyond the realm of rationality" but maybe only to us living in a post-industrial world removed from nature's rhythms.
Produce at O‘o Farms that don't go to the restaurant are prepared as post-farm tour lunches in this rustic outdoor kitchen complete with a spit and long, communal table. A dream kitchen, indeed.
