Featured
Hāmākua Chocolate Farm
Big Island
Tree-to-bar in Papaikou: they grow, ferment, and process their own Big Island cacao on-site. Monthly harvest parties put you in the orchard for the full picture, from fresh cacao juice to finished bar.
HouLau Farm Chocolate
Kauai
Three-acre Kauaʻi cacao orchard processed entirely on-site into 70% dark bars — planting through finished chocolate under one roof. Appointment-only farm tours run 3–4 hours; children under 12 free.
21 Degrees Estate
Oahu
A 10-acre Oʻahu farm — 800 trees, sixth production year — making single-estate bars from their own cacao, start to finish. Appointment-only tours run two hours and cover the orchard with tastings of the chocolate, an award-winning estate honey, and tropical fruit.
The full list
Maui Ku’ia Estate Cacao Farm
Maui
Cacao grown in Lahaina, chocolate made from it in the same on-site factory — farm and production-floor tours let you see the full chain. Single-origin bars from Uganda, Vanuatu, and Ecuador sit alongside the Maui-grown dark in the retail store, making the terroir comparison easy.
Kulike Farm
Big Island
Honey-sweetened, 100% Hawaiian bean-to-bar made from their own Hakalau permaculture cacao — the sweetener swap alone signals a maker thinking from the ground up. Appointment-only farm tours walk you through fermentation, roast, and tasting on the same land where the trees grow.
Hilo Shark's Hawaii
Big Island
Hāmākua Coast cacao that has been grown, fermented, and sun-dried on this farm for 25 years — the flavor is built before it ever hits a roaster. The 3-hour seed-to-bar tour ends with you making chocolate from those same beans.
Honoka'a Chocolate Store
Big Island
Bean-to-bar operation in historic Honoka'a with its own cacao orchard on the Big Island. Tours walk you through the orchard, show the processing, and finish with tastings — the rum bar and coconut milk chocolate are worth the detour up the Hāmākua Coast.
Garden Island Chocolate
Kauai
Farm and factory in one: cacao grown in Anahola's red volcanic soil across a dozen varieties — including 100% Criollo — and processed into bar on-site. The farm tour covers fermentation and chocolate-making, finishing with a tasting of bars made from those beans.
Honoka'a Chocolate Farm
Big Island
Grown on their own Honoka'a farm and made into 100% Hawaii-grown single-origin dark chocolate on the same property — the full tree-to-bar chain in one place. Guided tours walk the orchard, cover cacao processing, and close with a tasting.
