Kaimana Lychee, Ordered online, delivered Fresh to your door.
Aloha everyone, we weathered the storms and are gearing up for what looks like a great season in 2026. Almost every tree flowered this year, and the pace was somewhat staggered, so it could be a longer season! We’re looking to start picking the day after Memorial Day, so orders will be up on the website starting May 22nd at noon. I will try to update here if that changes. The first week will be a little slow, but there will be more lychee available each week, so if you’re patient, you shouldn’t have to fight for a box this year.
We DO plan to do Pick-Your-Own again this year, weekends and holidays in June and early July. Scroll down on this page for Pick-Your-Own reservations.
You may notice that the price dropped a bit, but shipping and tax are now shown on your invoice. We used to just roll it into a single price, but our tax preparer said it should be separated out. Total price per box, including tax and shipping this year is $98.98, or $12.37 per pound.
New here? Follow the Kaye Farm Ohana on our Facebook Page so we can let you know when lychee season starts! We also post occasional updates on other activities at the farm on our Facebook page. We don’t send out the email newsletter much anymore.
Buyers: We are a tiny family farm and don’t do wholesale orders.
If your shipping address is in the Hilo area, we will contact you about delivering or meeting up. For everyone else, your box will be delivered by the US Postal Service. You may notice that the shipping and tax are now shown on your invoice. We used to just roll it into a single price, but our tax preparer said it should be listed out.
2026 Lychee SEASON is on! Keep scrolling down for Pick-your own!
We are looking forward to shipping out your boxes of lychee starting Monday May 26th. Watch our website every Friday at noon for new availability and our facebook page for any extras we can fit in!

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 growing conditions for lychee. That’s why Kaimana lychee grown on the Hamakua Coast is some of the best on earth! From our little farm in 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.
