Nalo Farms
Dean J. Okimoto, Owner/President Nalo Farms
A stronger-flavored basil than sweet basil, Thai Basil also has a hint of licorice flavor. The leaves, which are about half the size of sweet basil, have purple stems and make pretty garnishes.
Weeding.....This is a never ending job at Nalo Farms. We do it all by hand.

From our Farm to your Table
Nalo Farms takes great pride in growing its signature Nalo Greens, a mesclun mix bursting with flavor, fresh culinary herbs, unique micro greens, specialty items and its farm fresh harvested honey.
Agriculture has been the center of Hawaii's culture and community since the days of the first Hawaiians. The many immigrants who came to Hawaii brought their rich tradition of food and plants which covers the abundant landscape today. Nalo Farms is a product of this agrarian culture and a vital part of the community.
Dean J. Okimoto, Owner/President and his team invite you to explore our website and learn about Nalo Farms and the produce we offer.
No Farms.... No Food....
