Grove Farm

About a year ago, on April 11th, Puhi Park Produce opened during the initial stages of the pandemic. Grove Farm’s vision was to provide a safe and convenient venue for local farmers and food producers to sell their products, especially since community Sunshine Markets were closed, restaurants and hotels had little need for their products, and residents wanted a safe place to buy wonderful locally grown produce, fresh fish, or tasty locally-made food products.

For well over 150 years, Grove Farm has operated, maintained, and enhanced a series of legacy water infrastructure that serve the Kaua‘i community. An essential part of these complex water systems are dams and reservoirs. These structures were designed and built by the ingenuity and hard work of our ancestors and are critical to Kaua‘i’s sustainability. It is our kuleana – our responsibility – to care for these infrastructure components and we take it seriously.

Kaua‘i may be facing its greatest challenge yet, resulting from the COVID pandemic, the ensuing islandwideshutdowns, and the loss of thousands of jobs. Today, businesses are struggling to stay afloat in anticipation returning visitors. Many of our friends, neighbors, and family members are unemployed. Island families are hoping to return to a life of normalcy soon – to be able to go back to work and provide for their families.
