We’re so grateful for every guest who chooses to spend time with us at the farm.

Thank you for the kind words and for taking the time to share your experience. It means more than you know.

We simply share the ocean, the story, and the salt, and we’re honored when it resonates.

Mahalo for being part of this community.

Modern agriculture and filtration systems have changed our food and water, and quietly reduced the mineral content our bodies that we once received naturally.

When minerals are stripped from the soil and water, they’re stripped from the cycle.

When you had quality, mineral rich sea salt to your food, you are not just adding flavor, you're putting the minerals back, nourishing your body for your overall wellbeing

You’ll see this native Hawaiian shrub growing all across our the salt farm, low to the ground, often overlooked, sometimes mistaken for a w**d.

But in Hawaiʻi’s harsh, rocky leeward landscapes, it thrives.

‘Uhaloa is a resilient coastal plant that has long been part of traditional Hawaiian life. It was brewed into tea to support respiratory health, ease pain, and calm inflammation, and even pounded and used in canoe building.

Like so much of Hawaiʻi’s native flora, it reminds us that what appears small or ordinary often carries deep wisdom and purpose.

If you’ve been searching for the best finishing salt for eggs, avocado toast, roasted veggies, or fresh fish… this is it.

Our Nalo Farms Fresh Herbs Sea Salt starts with mineral-rich Hawaiian sea salt harvested from deep ocean water, then blended with clean, aromatic herbs; rosemary, sage, thyme and Italian parsley, for a perfectly balanced finish.

We love it because it:
• Instantly elevates simple meals
• Adds depth without overpowering
• Brings real, mineral-rich flavor back to your plate

Just North of us was once the site of a historic royal fishpond, Pa’aiea. It was completely covered by lava from the 1801 Hualalai eruption but you can still see traces of it. Look for areas of orange/rust colored lava, next time you are flying in or out of the Kona Airport. When the lava met with the seawater from the fishpond, the water boiled and the resulting oxygen “rusted” the iron in the lava. There is a series of videos on the Hawaii Ocean Science Technology made by .io with naturalist Bobby Camaro. These videos are really well done and well worth watching. Www.hostpark.io/stories-of-place. Link in bio as well. Thank you for this great work!! And Mahalo to Bobby Camara for sharing his knowledge!

Next time you fly in or out of Kona, look down and watch for lava that appears almost rusty, orange in contrast to the black. It shows where the royal fishpond Pāʻaiea was before it was completely filled by the 1801 lava flow. When the lava and seawater and oxygen met, it oxidized.
This is really well done, from the Hawaii Ocean Science Technology Park’s website. Well worth reading and watching!

The 1801 Hualālai eruption transformed Pāʻaiea from a thriving fishpond into a lava field. Discover how volcanic forces shaped Kona's cultural and geological history.

The restorative force of the ocean somehow feels especially strong here in Kona. The ocean restores us in so many ways, whether we swim in it, spend time near it or use wellness products drawn from its water. That restorative relationship flows both ways though, in return we have the responsibility to steward it and restore its health through our actions.

Our Kiawe Tree ended up getting a new companion tree, a Hau Tree. Hau Trees are really interesting, they are Canoe Plants in two ways: They are not native to Hawaii but were brought by Polynesians. Their wood is light and buoyant and was used in building outrigger canoe boom, fish floats and light weapons. The bark was made into cordage and pounded into kapa. The flowers are amazing too, they only last a single day and start off yellow in the morning and turn red before dropping at the end of the day. If you come to the farm, check out our new Hau Tree. We were able to save the Kiawe tree, it was still strong at its core, we just trimmed it a little bit so it can weather those Kona winds.
