About Us

Don and Diana Mahi were both born and raised on Oahu. They married in 1971 and in 1975 they moved to Kauai and started their family. In 1987 they were able to move to Anahola Hawaiian Homestead Farm lots to make a living off of the land. Life was not easy back then. The land was overgrown with wild trees and scrubs. Water needed to be brought in. A windmill installed to generate electricity.

They started by growing turf grass for golf courses and home owners. It was an excellent business until Hurricane Iniki devastated the island. Home owners now had to repair roofs and damages and this affected their turf business.

The economy was so bad that they had to find work on Oahu. For 11 years they commuted between islands. To supplement their income they began renting their home to visitors to Kauai. This proved to be rewarding as it not only helped keep up with the cost of maintaining the farm but also provided visitors with an opportunity to experience island living away from the crowds and commercialism.

To diversify they planted Neem Trees on the farm. Moving away from growing Turf Grass they began to grow other things to make farm fresh products.
