MISSION

Olomana Gardens is a permaculture farm dedicated to serving the local community as a demonstration farm for modern, sustainable food growing systems suitable for small-scale farms and even food production for residential lots.

The central features of our farm are integrated systems of animals, composting and vermicomposting, and aquaponics (aquaculture + hydroponics), combining fish raising and production of organic vegetables.
We have a diverse and colorful collection of animals, including horses, chickens, ducks, turkeys and goats and thousands upon thousands of composting worms which turn organic waste and manures into natural fertilizer.

We produce aquaponic, certified organic vegetables and natural chicken and duck eggs are sold as available. We also sell composting and tiller worms, worm composting bins, worm compost and organic pallet gardens for delivery (the all-in-one pallet gardens are perfect for budding farmers with limited space or those who want only organic produce).

Agriculture workshops are held regularly, and small group and school tours are welcome. Visit our web site or call for information

In the past, we occasionally rented out our garden to small groups for weddings/family events. We have permanently discontinued these activities, because we have been unable to obtain the needed permits.
