What is Kauai Grown? The Kauai Grown program promotes our locally grown agricultural products and recognizes the farmers, ranchers, retailers, and restaurants that bring these products to the consumer.
Our goal is to help identify Kauai Grown products and experiences, and to capture what makes these products and experiences special – the people and fresh ingredients behind the products, and the diverse choices that are unique to Kauai.
