Farm to Table within the Kamaole Ahupuaa
The Modern Day Kamaole Ahupuaa is unique today with its population concentration along the coast and accessible pasture and farm lands Upcountry.
The mix of hotel, condominium, residential and commercial properties and their residents and visitors create the demand for agricultural products produced on the pasture and farm lands Upcountry.
Existing Upcountry Kamaole farms and ranches with direct access to makai population concentrations using Kealakapu Road makes farm to table food production a real possibility today.
The Kamaole Ahupuaa is located in the rain shadow of the Haleakala volcano. Rainfall contours in inches per year make for easy visualization of wet and dry areas of the Maui Moku Puni. The network of drainage ditches, canals and pipelines constructed in the previous century to supply the sugar cane industry with water are drawn in purple.
