It was my dear friend David Leon who first opened my eyes to the quiet beauty and extraordinary potential of Hawai'i.
As many of you know, Hawai'i currently imports close to 90% of its food, despite being home to some of the most fertile soil inthe world. And yet, it holds within it the seeds of a remarkable transformation.
The islands could very well become a model for what a resilient, community-driven food system might look like. This Seasonal Subscription Box is a small tribute to some of the growers
on the Hawaiian islands, working gently and regeneratively with the land — offering a glimpse into the care with which it is being tended.
It’s the first time we’ve curated a box that draws entirely fromfarms in one region. It’s our honor to do so, and our way of expressing deep respect and admiration for the work being done.
My heartfelt thanks go to David, whose quiet leadership continuesto inspire so many of us.

On the remote end of Moloka‘i sits Pu‘u O Hōkū: a family-owned Biodynamic Organic Ranch, surrounded by 14,000 acres of protected land. They cultivate and carefully dry the most delicious Apple Bananas, or "mai'a" in Hawaiian.Playing a vital role in the self-sufficiency of the local community and preserving the fertile east of the island through sustainable cultivation. One chewy mai'a at a time.
On the north shore of O‘ahu sits Lonohana, a 14-acre regenerative Cacao farm. Their Hawaiian-grown Cacao is a beautiful expression of the highest standard of Chocolate — restoring health back to their ʻāina through a vertical model that turns all value back to Hawai‘i. They took their luscious dark chocolate crafted in their Honolulu facility, and coated the creamiest, most delicious organic Macadamia Nuts grown by Mahina Mele Farms on the Big Island.
Celebrating the pristine landscapes of Kaua’i is the incredible Chef Gida Snyder — who has sourced pure ocean Sea Saltfrom Kona, distilled from water drawn from 2,200 feet below the ocean surface, and blended it with Kaua’i grown Turmeric, Ginger, Black Peppercorn, Passionfruit, and Orange. It’s the brightest explosion of flavor, made through her company Slow Island Food & Beverage Co. where flavor, farming, and commitment to Hawaiian-grown food come together.
Deep in the remote Ohi'a forests of Mauna Loa sits the Lehua blossom. Here, Big Island Bees — a multi-generational beekeeping family — lets their hives indulge in the pristine nectar of these native blooms. The result is an organic, incredibly rare Honey unlike any we’ve ever tasted, with a creamy, whipped-like texture and a remarkable floral taste. Made without the use of artificial feeds or chemicals — capturing the purest flavors of Hawai‘i.
We caught up with Lehia Apana, founder of Polipoli Farms, to hear the story behind their Māmaki and ‘Ulu Tea Blend — available in our Spring Seasonal Subscription Box.
Deep in the fertile valleys of Maui lies a three-acre regenerative food forest called Polipoli Farms. Here, a lush interplay of Native Hawaiian and Polynesian plants serve a sole purpose: tend to the ecosystem. Their Māmaki and ‘Ulu in our new Tea Blend are a testament to this commitment — pairing well in the forest, but also in the cup.
Lehia and Brad, wife and husband duo born and raised on Maui, do this through a method called ‘ohana style planting. An indigenous practice known as agroforestry that honors every member of the forest – from the ground covers, the bush level,the tree story, to the upper canopy.
“Part of our larger mission is for people to understand this placeand its history. Because once you do, you will love it. And once you love it, you will want to protect it. We can get to know it by tastingit, and connecting to its food.” - Lehia Apana
How did Polipoli farm come about?
My husband and I run the farm. My family is Native Hawaiian,and we were both born and raised on Maui. In 2017 we purchased three acres here in Waiehu. The land was completely overgrown with invasive species. We cleared it for three years while holding our other jobs down. When the pandemic hit, we realized we couldn’t wait until retirement to become farmers. That’s when Polipoli Farms was born.
You are growing Māmaki and ‘Ulu, the two plants blended inthe Tea we’re now offering. What is the role these two plantsplay in the ecosystem of Polipoli?
The ‘Ulu, or breadfruit, in the tea blend is our mother tree. It’s the overstory. The anchor and protector. Māmaki likes shade, so it grows around the ‘Ulu. They mutually support each other. They pair well in the forest, but they also pair well in the cup.
What does regeneration mean to you?
Regeneration means having a generational mindset. The way that we grow is all about looking back at those that came before us. But it’s also about looking forward. And I ask myself, are we doing things that are honoring both?
