Living Earth Systems

This hidden gem on Maui goes way beyond your typical farm stand. Scott, Eddie, and their team have created something really special here, combining incredible farm-fresh produce with genuine passion for sustainable agriculture and land restoration. The pineapples, papayas, and especially the fresh-pressed sugar cane juice get rave reviews, with many visitors calling them the best they've ever tasted. The fruit is grown right on site and sold perfectly ripe, and the friendly staff happily offer samples while explaining their growing practices. What makes this place stand out is the educational component. The owners take time to share their knowledge about sustainable farming, give tours of the coconut and mango farm, and explain how they're restoring the land. Visitors love meeting the animals roaming around, including a 100-pound tortoise, and learning about the ecosystem approach to farming. It's particularly great for kids and anyone interested in sustainable living. Just note that one visitor found them closed mid-morning on a Monday, so hours might be limited. Bring cash if you can, though the generosity of the staff shines through in the reviews.
