Farm
Hana Fruits & Flowers
A Hawaiian flower farm founded in 1984 in the rainforests of Hana, Maui — growing and shipping fresh tropical flowers (orchids, anthuriums, proteas, leis, tropical arrangements) direct from the islands. The operation maintains partner-farm relationships across multiple Hawaiian microclimates so each flower comes from where it grows best, then ships handpicked and hand-washed directly to the eater.

What they do
Hana Flower Company was founded in 1984 “in the lush rain forests of Hana, Maui.” The operation grows and ships fresh Hawaiian tropical flowers — orchids, anthuriums, proteas, leis, and mixed tropical arrangements — direct to eaters via an e-florist storefront. To cover the climatic range that different tropical species need, the operation maintains “farms throughout the Hawaiian Islands” so each flower comes from the microclimate that suits it.
Flowers are “handpicked and hand-washed” with quality inspections before shipment. Memberships include the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation, the Hawaii Tropical Flower Council, and the Maui Native Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce.
Why it’s listed
The U.S. domestic cut-flower market is dominated by overseas imports (Colombia and Ecuador especially), and Hawaiian-grown tropical flowers are the only meaningful domestic source for many of these species — orchids and anthuriums in particular don’t have viable mainland cultivation paths. A [[flower-farm|flower farm]] shipping handpicked Hawaiian-grown stems directly to eaters from the islands themselves is the slow-flowers movement’s tropical-belt analogue, and the only viable way to keep these species inside a domestic supply chain. Maui Native Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce membership signals Indigenous-community alignment in addition to the production-region one.
