About Us
Who We Are
At MA Farm we feel incredibly blessed that we get to do what we love. We love the aina and the ohana that supports us by buying and eating our fresh chemical pesticide free vegetables.


Our Story
Our Roots Grow Deep
From learning to farm in India in the early 1970's, to caretaking the edible landscape at the UH energy house, studying Whole Life Systems at the Farallones Institute I have always been drawn to the aina as an integral part of life.
After a long career in educational software development and small business web production, I was able to "get back to the garden" in 2019 when Ma Farm was established in Kamilonui Valley, Hawaii Kai.
In 2021 we moved the farm and re-established it in Waimanalo where the environment has been very supportive and the aina has been wonderfully fruitful. In 2022 Ma Farm we have expanded our vegetable garden to include 12 kalo mala's, bananas, 'ulu, avocado and citrus trees.
We have launched our Food First Nursery whose goal is to get tropical food sources into family yards and community spaces. Our sister Non-Profit ~Well Fed Ohana ~ focuses on providing food plants and the knowledge of how to grow and make them the foundation of our diet to the people of the ahupua'a of Waimanalo. We particularly focus on our kupuna, homeless, and those who are struggling to provide food to their ohana in these challenging times. Come grow with us!
Mission and Aspirations
A Pono Aina Farm
"The life of the land (aina) is preserved in righteousness (pono)"
We strive to farm in the right way to work in harmony with the living land of Hawaii.
We believe that natural, organic and fresh food is fundamental to a healthy culture in Hawai'i. Our mission is to grow quality, nutritious produce while engaging with the community of Oahu by providing our salad vegetables first to the Ranch Ohana and then to the surrounding community through various avenues and future family-friendly farm activities and events. We also promote sustainable and socially responsible farming by using the most environmentally friendly growing techniques. Learn more about our work process by contacting us.
