Kolo Kai Organic Farm specializes in turmeric and three varieties of fresh ginger shipped directly to the consumer.

Besides our web presence we can be found at the County local outdoor sunshine market that is held at the Agricultural Park just past Kilauea Town on Kilauea Rd just before the Kilauea Lighthouse. We are there every Thursday from 3pm to 5pm. Due to Covid 19 this market is currently not operating. Please check with the County of Kauai web site to see when the markets will resume.

Season permitting we have ginger, turmeric and galangal along with a varielty of avocados, oranges, grapefruit, star fruit, sour sop and lilikoi. Veggies jump on the list from time to time.

All our produce is certified organic by ICS(International Certification services)

In 1980 we started growing organic fruits and vegetables. Since 1999 our primary product has been fresh ginger. We harvest the ginger on a per order basis so that you receive the product fresh often only a few days out of the ground.

We offer white and yellow ginger, Thai ginger (galangal) and turmeric (olena) on line and of course at the local sunshine markets.

White ginger is often used in it's baby or young stage for sushi and pickled ginger but is also very tasty in it's mature form with a wonderful flavor preferred by many and generally found in commercial food stores. We can ship you young "baby ginger" September through November on a per order basis. However it is most tender in September and October with it's harder, more mature skin developing more every day through November.

Yellow ginger is smaller than the white but often thought to be more pungent and is the variety most often found in health food stores.

Galangal or Thai ginger is unique unto itself and very pungent. It is commonly used in those wonderful Thai dishes we personally love.

Turmeric is also a root that grows similar to the ginger. IT is used inmany Asian and Indian dishes. It's pungent flavor adds to curry, rice and stir fry's. It's deep yellow/orange color is often used to brighten foods and added to broaden the flavor.
