Kaimana Lychee, Ordered online, delivered Fresh to your door.
We are opening our 2025 season May 19th. We are sorry to report that the Hamakua Coast is having an off-year for lychee, with production averaging 5-15% of a normal year. With so little lychee it is harder to estimate how much we can provide each day. The boxes we offer for sale will therefor be “if can,” meaning, we will do our best—If we cannot fill your order we will let you know and provide a 100% refund or try again for next week. Boxes will be scheduled on a weekly basis—I can’t refine it down to a specific day very well this year. .
New here? Follow the Kaye Farm Ohana on our Facebook Page so we can let you know when lychee season starts each year—it can vary from late April to late May. We also post occasional updates on other activities at the farm each season.
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.
2025 Lychee is on!
We are looking forward to picking and shipping out your boxes of lychee starting Monday May 19th. It’s a lean year, so I apologize if you’re unable to get an order in. I will be taking orders only on the website this year—I will not be taking phone orders as we simply don’t have the wiggle room to accommodate extra orders—what is on the website is what we have.
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.
