"Be the change you wish to see in the world"
Mahatma Ghandi
Pick You Own welcomes people who are on a path toward sustainability and spirituality. We are 90% food self-sufficient, which was our first goal. Pick Your Own is a place to meet kindred spirits and experience how it could be to share, live and work together.
Stop by to see us for a garden tour, a fruit snack to go or to harvest food for your meals.

Most peoples food in industrial countries travels thousands of miles before reaching our plate. Help shrink this distance and at the same time, learn about the Polynesian plants that we grow.
