Food Travel Adventures On Maui

Attention Foodies; looking for relevant information on where to eat and food related sightseeing in Maui? Then look no further! Agritourism is the new way to Travel!

What is Agritourism? Agritourism is defined by Wikipedia as tourism in which tourists visit and learn about or take part in farm or village activities. Agritourism’s popularity helps communities in a two-fold capacity. Farms that can no longer compete in the rising costs can begin to expand their business through tourism, secondly farms can drill down into niche categories; like specialty cheese production.

Hawaii, traditionally thought of as only for beach savvy travelers is fast becoming a destination for food minded tourists. This melting pot of ethnicity meets a jewel of agricultural diversity; the end result being defined as Hawaiian Regional cuisine which was started in the 80’s by 12 Hawaiian Chef’s.

Maui offers many self-guided food tours. Travel through the Maui Uplands by car to find the Surfing Goat Dairy (3651 Omaopio Rd. Kula, Maui 808.878.2870). Maui’s only Goat Dairy Farm which produces top Artisanal Cheeses is located on one the beautiful slopes of Maui’s Haleakala crater in lower Kula.

Finish with a Ranch BBQ complete with upcountry steaks grilled to perfection on Kiawe wood topped with our “Men’s Challenge” horseradish cheese and for dessert try their delicious Fruit Quark!
