On our first day in Kauai, we stepped out in the rain to tour a fruit farm. This farm tour, found on Airbnb Experiences, takes us through Moloa’a Organica’a, a private fruit, vegetable, and spice farm in the northern part of Kauai. Rather than organized rows, the trees were all intermixed in a disorganized array, some old, some new, and nearly all bearing fruit across 30 acres. As we weaved through the orchard, our host would stop at a tree and take out his cutting board, slicing the exotic fruit as he told us stories about medicinal uses, history, and flavors. We tried noni, apple banana, star fruit, avocado, breadfruit, coffee fruit, and more. Shiloh and Emerson enjoyed sucking on the many varieties of oranges from their comfortable positions in the carriers. We were all soaked by the time we meandered back to our cars, arms full of fresh fruits to bring back to our Airbnb, grateful for the experience and exhausted by the skipped naps.
