Keiki and Plow offers families a hands-on farming experience

Spend the morning with your family harvesting your own produce. Let your keiki run free and frolic in the dirt. Take a moment to reconnect with the land. Do all that and more at Keiki and Plow, an organic farm in Hawaii Kai.

“We are family-run, so we try to keep a really personal feel with the visitors that come,” said Keiki and Plow owner Heather Mohr. “We want them to feel at home.”

Keiki and Plow offers families a hands-on farm experience. Harvest your own veggies and herbs with “U-pick baskets,” available in various sizes at $5, $10 and $20. Staples include kale, Swiss chard and herbs such as cilantro, basil and oregano. Specialty crops are carrots, beets, eggplants and more. Visit their Instagram account (@keikiandplow) to see what’s in season.

You can also harvest organic, free-range chicken eggs at $1 each or $10 per dozen. In addition to harvesting, families can help feed chickens, rabbits and baby goats.

Keiki and Plow also encourages free play for its little visitors in a creative outdoor space, which includes a “mud” kitchen and digging pit, said Mohr, a mother of three children, ages 7, 5 and 3, and a former early-childhood educator for 10 years.

“We’re really trying to reconnect kids and families back to their food,” Mohr said, “also (promoting) the idea of slowing down in nature together and just offering a nice space to do that.”
