Coconut has made several headlines for its universal health benefits and medicinal qualities. It has become a popular health craze that has made many curious to understand its benefits and different usages.
Coconut enthusiasts flock to the Punakea Palms Family Farm to learn about the different stages and uses of coconuts. The family owned and operated farm is located in the foothills of West Maui mountains. Punakea Palms share their natural farm life experiences and coconut knowledge through their daily lives on the farm tours.
Natural Farming
There, you will find out everything you need to know about coconuts. Punakea Palms Family farms cultivate using “Natural Farming” as their growing technique of choice. Natural Farming is a scientific approach to rich soil fertility. With the use of natural Indigenous Microorganisms, the soil is built to be a rich foundation. This technique, along with the generous sunshine, has helped Punakea Palms potential yield over 10,000 nuts per year. Equally, it has allowed the farm to incorporate other native tropical fruits such as bananas, papayas, avocados, mangoes, pineapples, sugar cane and much more.
