Building a Sustainable Kauaʻi
Sustainable Food
Supporting and encouraging our agricultural industry – supporting farmers who provide fresh, nutritious produce and increasing food security. Utilize our 12,500 acres of Important Agricultural Lands to feed Kaua‘i.
Sustainable Health
Promoting a healthy lifestyle by developing communities that follow Smart Growth principles – walkable communities, encouraging mixed-use, cultural gathering areas, music and sports.
Sustainable Species
Kauaʻi has the most endangered bird species in the world. The ideal climate and predator-free environment must be preserved. We understand the importance of educating our keiki about native species preservation and invasive species.
Sustainable Communities
Building Sustainable Communities is the culmination of applying the lessons learned from sustainable lands and the six sustainable initiatives. A sustainable community is one that provides robust learning initiatives, diverse employment opportunities, multi-generational living arrangements, and a happy, healthy island for all to enjoy.
Sustainable Water
Understanding how water plays a key role in all of the disciplines and doing our utmost to protect and conserve this valued resource entrusted in our care.
Sustainable Historic Sites
Preserving and sharing the rich cultural sites and practices of our past, and encouraging learning to perpetuate the history, culture, legends, stories and music of Kaua‘i.
Sustainable Energy
Reducing our reliance on fossil fuel through clean and reliable sources of energy. Grove Farm’s lands support solar, biomass and hydroelectric power. We encourage and support research and development in pioneering approaches to energy self-reliance.
Building a Sustainable Community
Our land management approach supports the preservation of historic sites and enhancing the many plants, birds, and other endangered species. Partnering with key businessess and organizations to support the needs of our island community is one of many ways Grove Farm is building a sustainable Kauaʻi.
Building Communities
Perpetuating and Preserving a Kaua'i Culture
Our culture is passed down from the generations before us as we learn from talking-story with our elders. Grove Farm wants to preserve this culture by documenting the food, music, and history that make us Kaua'i.
