Kaimana Lychee, Ordered online, delivered Fresh to your door.
Kaye Family Farms grows some of the biggest, sweetest lychee in the state, and we offer it for online sale when in season, usually between Memorial Day and the Fourth of July. Our small family farm is run by—you guessed it—our small family. Single mom with a day job, three teens, and a little help from friends during harvest season. We have more orders than we have lychee, and we communicate by email only and rarely take special orders (sorry!). But, if you can get an order in, we will send you a BIG box of what we think is the best lychee anywhere on earth!
New here? Follow the Kaye Farm Ohana on our Facebook Page so we can let you know when lychee season starts each year—it can vary from late April to late May. We also post occasional updates on other activities at the farm each season.
We’ve had a lot of inquiries about picking your own lychee, and we’re sorry, but we do not do farm visits or pick your own, because the honey bees are so active in the orchard. …And because our insurance won’t let us. All orders are done through this website!
2023 Lychee ready to Launch!
We are starting up a little earlier this year, with sales set to open on May 12th, at noon, and the first shipments going out Monday May 15th, for a Tuesday arrival. We will open the first two weeks of sales all at once, to try to help more people get an order in. If we can do more, we’ll add more boxes for sale as they become available, usually on Wed or Thurs afternoons. In general, you can expect new inventory to be posted every Friday at Noon, sharp. Unless I forget. Then it will be later, with my sincere apologies. We do the best we can.
Kaye Family Farm
Our family farm is nestled on 28 acres on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island, Hawaii. Once a sugar plantation village, a banana farm, then planted in organic ginger, the farm now hosts 50 varieties of tropical fruit, and our 'growing' family. Our lychee orchard has matured during two decades of family love and care. As a result, today our orchard produces the best fruits you can find on the Big Island.
Our location
Warm, sunny days, plenty of rain, and chilly winter night winds blowing down from Mauna Kea make ideal conditions for lychee growing on the Hamakua Coast. From Honomu we can ship lychee anywhere in the state of Hawaii—but no further than that!
Kaye Family Farm is on the Hamakua Coast of the Big Island of Hawaii--just around the corner from Akaka Falls. Our 28 acre farm produces Tahitian limes, oranges, lemons, longan...and everybody’s favorite Kaimana Lychee. Our orchard has grown over the years and is maintained by three generations of family and friends.
Our love of the land is at the heart of our business. We care for and maintain our farm using traditional and current agricultural practices including careful selection of the best stock and varieties for our area, using an integrated pest management approach to keep the farm and surrounding lands healthy, and regulating the nutrients needed to facilitate fruit production. Our time honored practices and ideal location have provided a consistent and reliable product.
