About Us
Our Mission
Our mission is to strengthen Hawaii’s local food system by working collaboratively to grow and maximize productivity of fruit trees.
Our Approach
We work through an “all-star team” of Hawaii’s leading fruit tree & grafting specialist, soil scientist, arborist & agriculturist, educators and community builders. We sell packages of agroforestry plants and grafted fruit trees. Our packages feature tropical fruit trees and mid-term (9+ mo) and short-term (30 days+ crops), canoe crops, local tropical fruit crops, perennial vegetables, herbs and native plants that grow well together as an agroforestry system. We also offer design, consultation, installation, and maintenance services. Other services include field grafting, contract grows, and we host quarterly workshops on soil health, growing nutrient dense, and agroforestry design.
Grow Fruit Hawai’i is one of our movements started our partner, Growing Together, to make growing and caring for fruit trees fun. Our intention is to spread the joy of having an abundance of fruit to share with strangers, to get neighbors talking, and people caring for each other and our North Shore community.
Our Story
We are a family-run, nursery and edible landscape business that has been growing food on the North Shore for the past ten years. We are a strong believers in the necessity of cultivating community health and well-being through the foods we eat and the way we grow them. Growing food in a way that improves the health and function of our soil is the starting place for improving our own health and that of our planet. We are very grateful for what we have learned working with communities in Hawaii and continue to be inspired by kupuna and leaders who nurture and bring community together by growing and enjoying food together.
