Lanikai Farms is a pioneering aquaculture facility located in Haiku, HI, offering a unique educational program that teaches children and the general public about sustainable agriculture and the importance of growing food. Designed by Lloyd Fischel, a recognized Hero of Agriculture for Education, the facility utilizes biological filtration and rainwater runoff to create a healthy environment for raising fish. Since its opening in 2006, Lanikai Farms has welcomed hundreds of students and thousands of visitors to learn about aquaculture and its role in developing a truly sustainable culture.
In addition to its aquaculture program, Lanikai Farms is also home to Fragrant Orchids of Maui, a commercial nursery where visitors can explore the fascinating world of orchids. Orchids, which evolved 150 million years ago, have adapted to survive without soil, making them a unique and captivating plant species. The facility's commitment to sustainable practices and education has earned Lanikai Farms recognition from the State of Hawaii and various organizations, including the U.S. Department of Commerce and the National Farmers Union.
