Step Into the Buzzing World of Bees

Kauaʻi’s lush landscapes have always been a haven for nature lovers, but now there’s a new reason to visit: Lydgate Farms’ immersive Honey Farm & Tasting Tour. This unique two-hour experience offers visitors an up-close look at the fascinating journey from bees to honey.

Taste Honey Straight from the Hive

One of the tour’s highlights is the exclusive opportunity to taste honeycomb freshly harvested right in front of you. This direct-from-the-source tasting is complemented by other honey samples along the way, showcasing the diverse flavors crafted by the island’s unique flora. The experience is not just about honey; it’s about connecting with nature and understanding the care and patience behind each drop.

 

A Family Legacy Rooted in Hawaiian Tradition

Lydgate Farms

Lydgate Farms is more than just a honey farm. With roots tracing back to 1865, this fifth-generation family business embodies the Hawaiian value of Malama ‘Aina — caring for the land so it can sustain life for future generations. Known internationally for producing award-winning cacao beans, Lydgate Farms has been recognized three times by Cocoa of Excellence in Paris, France. The farm continues to pioneer sustainable cacao farming on Kauaʻi while offering educational tours that highlight the island’s rich agricultural history.

Visitors to Lydgate Farms don’t just witness farming—they experience a deep cultural connection. The farm emphasizes small-scale, sustainable agriculture, honoring its role as a steward of both the land and Hawaiian heritage.
