Overview

Experience the intense flavors of fresh hibiscus along with our flowers in syrup, preserves and tea, while you’re guided through our estate greenhouse and outdoor exploration garden. Everyone is familiar with the showy hibiscus flower, but we mainly grow the edible kind called Hibiscus Roselle. Roselle is a tropical plant historically used for medicinal purposes and still has many health benefits today. Actively enjoy both our indoor hydroponic farm and outdoor garden we use for multiple edible varieties. Savor the taste of each of our specialty products grown, harvested and produced right here on the farm. Immerse yourself in a behind the scenes tour of our farm with a 45-minute light walking tour with firsthand explanations from the owner, followed by hibiscus tea and other unique snacks. Take pictures and enjoy all the views of both the farm and ocean, all the while engaging in Q&A. We invite you to enjoy this uniquely tropical plant.
