Lydgate Farms

Will Lydgate, owner of Lydgate Farm, is the great-great-grandchildren of William Ludgate who arrived in Hawaii as a young man in the 1860s (the last name was changed over the years). Their 46-acre farm sits above the town of Kapa’a, between Sleeping Giant and Mt. Wai’ale’ale. Lydgate Farms is in an ahupua’a (land division) named Olohena, known for its rolling hills and the numerous springs and rivers that make this valley fertile for growing. Often called the Garden Island, Kaua’i is the oldest of the Hawaiian Islands and, as a result, has the most developed soils and fertile growing conditions.
