Welcome to PuaOno Farms: Where Mai Ka Lani Ono (Deliciousness from the Heavens) is delivered from our farm to your table!
Aloha, it's Sofee, Welcome to our farm!
About Us:
This is my Dad PB, Mom Ruth, & me, Sofee. We are from the North Shore Oahu, where we have a little organic farm that specialized in Culinary Herbs, Medicinal Herbs, Edible Flowers and unique Gourmet Salad Mixes. We are in the process of expanding our farm in other locations and work with other local organic farmers so we can bring our yummy recipes and flavors to your table.
When my parents moved back to my Gramp's farm in Hawaii, they embarked on our journey to create heaven on earth! How did they do that you may ask? Well.... by building an organic farm filled with all the healing and spiritual principles we practiced in our daily lives.Despite Before long my parents discovered that cruciferous veggies like brocolli, cauliflower, & cabbages, all the lettuces, tomotoes, and even root veggies grew real well on our farm, but what was really special and the biggest surprise was all the the herbs and edible flowers that grew like wild fire on our farm; It was with these aromatic delicacies that my mom began her epicurious adventures.
My mom said, her first Pua (flower) salad was beautiful to see, but the first bite released a surprising explosion of luscious flavors that she had never experienced before; thus the name PUA ONO SALADS and our farm name. But it further lead to our farm's slogan: Mai Ka Lani Ono; which literally translates to "deliciousness or luscious tastes from the heavens".
Some people may think the uniqueness of our farm is in what we grow, but we like to think it's in how we grow. We use the principles of Yoko Farming which is growing food with positive words of encouragement, prayer and divine light to awaken the spiritual energy of the plants in addition to using organic farming methods & amendments. Whether people or plants; all thrive in a positive environment, and just as some people may be more spiritually alive, so too are plants, depending on their growing environment. People tell us that it's the aliveness in the plants that tends to make people feel as if they are more alive energetic- my Mom agrees!
Pua Ono (Delicious Flower) Salads & other Yummies!
From our kitchen my Mom created delicious herbal and edible flower salad combinations, salad dressings and sauces, herbal tea infusions that smelled and taste like perfume, soups drizzled with fragrant herbs and edible flower petals that were as pretty to look at as they were delicious to eat! She also made salad pizzas, quiche ala yummy, and to die for deserts with crystallized roses.
In the beginning we would sell our yummy herbs and veggies with friends, neighbors and local customers, but a lot of the time people would tell my mom that they were too busy to cook or didn't know how to use these delicacies we would grow and would ask my mom for recipes to cook for them. My mom often would reminisce about how it was when we lived in L.A. and she was too busy to cook, but had the luxury of home delivered grocery services.
So she began asking herself and others; "if I could design a home delivered service that provided a weeks worth of great tasting organic recipes and ingredients for amazing home cooked organic meals would you be interested?" The overwhelming response was , "Yes!!!!!".
Then the questions and suggestions began flooding in. What people told my Mom they wanted was someone to pre-plan all their meals for a week, make sure it was good tasting, made with all organic ingredients that was pre-cut, pre-measured, pre-washed and ready to cook up in a pan or the oven and be on their table in about 30 minutes. It's a tall order, but now my Mom is ready to do it.
It's been a lot of work, but after years in the garden and kitchen, years of logistical research to make home delivered meals a reality, my Mom now shares with you a few of her master pieces, more precisely a weekly array of ready to cook prepped meals that include step by step instructions that will make anyone cooking look like a gourmet chef. Even though my Mom's meals will probably be one of the easiest meals you ever make, it will probably also be one ofthe healthiest meals too! I think you'll love her recipes and all the ingredients for her Omelettes filled with Seasonal Stir Fried Veggies cut and ready for the pan, her combination of spices, and topped with the most onolicious sauces you ever tasted!
During the week you've got to try Mom's Pua Ono Salads w/ her homemade dressings; she combines her salads with Rice Casseroles, Pasta dishes, Pizza's, and even Burritos, but what I love the most is my Mom's really yummy soups that fill you up with love and warm hugs!
In order for us to keep the ingredient as fresh as possible, my Mom divided the deliveries up into two meal bags: A Weekend Brok da mout Breakfast Bag and The Weekday Sensational Seasonal Soup and Salads. Let it be known, as my Mom would say; as much as we "will" the Gods to grow our crops, when the days are shorter in the winter time, we must accept that growth only happens with photosynthesis; all to say, that from Thanksgiving to May we do not deliver our Weekday Soup and Salad bags, instead we use this time to rest our soil, our bodies and spend quality time with our family and friends during the holidays to rejuvenate our souls.
During the Winter/ Makahiki, when soil is resting and local produce isn't as readily available, we focus on our Weekend Brok da mout Breakfast Bag. This bag will be availabe all year except December through January, it consist of two weekend breakfasts for a family of 4. If there are two in your famil y, now you have breakfast for 4 days and if your living single, you have breakfast all week!
So you're probably wondering what's inside a Weekend Brok da Mout Breakfast Bag, right? My Mom fills the bag with a dozen eggs, her yummy sauces and all the seasonal veggies for an incredible omelette, frittata, eggs benedict, or even breakfast burritos!
My Mom also mixes some of the most unique teas you'll every taste. It's filled with spices and fruits, flowers and some teas even have chocolate. Most of my mom's friends loves my mom's tea mixes- in some places she is known as the "alchemist" for her magical ways she mixes her teas that she collects while on her travels. For all who have asked her to make available her teas, my mom is now offering samplings of her Teas in her Weekend Brok da Mout Breakfast Bags.
Weekend Brok da Mout Breakfast Bags
There is nothing better than waking up to the lingering aroma of an omelette cooking on the stove, and a delicious tea brewing while filling the air with fragrant spices; now that's the way to start the weekend!
Mom's second breakfast meal includes a delicious hot cereal or soup filled with seasonal fruits and spices for the cereal or veggies, spices and broth for the soups. Some weekends Mom will load your bag up with fruit to make smoothies, or with the extra fruit make frozen sorbets. A nice complimentary tea is also included. So whether you have hot cereal or soup your tummy will feel full and warm, and for the rest of the day you have solid energy to go play in the surf or other fun activities. The Brok da mout Breakfast Bag will be available for delivery on Friday afternoon so those at work or coming home from work can get the bags right into the refrigerator.
Mom's Week Day Sensation Seasonal Soup and Salads will not be available until mid Spring as weather permits. This Bag is delivered every Tuesday afternoon for the busy work week ahead it consist of three dinners for a family of 4.
This bag will have 2 soups already made and ready for you to add the final fresh ingredients so it will taste like you got it right from your garden. Mom's salads will be pre-washed and mixed with only a few toppings to add and one of the many yummy dressing Mom makes- ohhhh I can taste it already!!!
For the 3rd meal Mom will add an unexpected surprise; sometimes it will be a stir fry, sometimes, it'll be a pasta or casserole dish or maybe even a burrito or pizza! It all depends on what is growing on the farm that week.
So.... are you hungry yet? Wondering;Where do I sign up?
Our Breakfast and Seasonal Soup & Salad Meal Bags are only available through our weekly door to door delivery programs extended through club and school fundraisers. This concept started when I needed to raise money for a trip to Washington DC. My mom didn't want me selling candy and other things that we did not eat ourselves, so we used our farm to raise money for my trip. I sold my chicken eggs and mom sold her salads mixes and made up produce boxes with the other things growing on our farm. In a short time I had enough money to go on my trip. Now our farm is helping others with their fundraisers. This gives the clubs the opportunity to make money by offering the convienent home delivery service while selling a weekly nutritious product that not only heals the body, but also heals Papa Honua (mother earth) and supports our local organic farmers who dedicate their lives to feeding us! To learn more about our fundaiser program, please go to the tab called " Fundraising with Us".
If you're hungry and want to get started now just go to the tab, "SIGN ME UP!"
