Hawaii: In Real Life ~ Maui Country Farm Tours

Even if you aren’t new to Maui, you might want to try Maui Country Farm Tours, a cool new foodie activity. Our Twitter friend, Marilyn Jansen Lopes, recently started these tours with her husband, Rick, and they’ll be taking groups to see various farms in upcountry Maui.

Even some Maui chefs don’t know all of the farms or produce that their island has to offer, so this will be huge for them as they sniff out new ingredients to use. I’m told there’s a farm there that’s now raising Berkshire pigs, a rare and highly prized breed from Britain. It will be interesting to see what Marilyn and Rick discover with their chefs—and Maui visitors—in the months to come.

Here’s a quick look at our visit to Alii Kula Lavender.

I wish I had smell-o-vision so you would know how great it all smelled! Also, here’s a small gallery of what we saw. Big mahalo to Joey the gardener, who can’t believe he’s an internet superstar.

While on Maui, I caught up with my Twitter friend Marilyn Jansen-Lopes ( @Jamarilyn), who recently started Maui Country Farm Tours with her husband, Rick. They will be taking groups to the various farms in upcountry Maui to meet the farmers and see how the island’s products are grown. This is probably going to be a good tour for island chefs, who need to keep abreast of cool new ingredients.
