About Kauai Kunana Dairy

History

Kauai Kunana Dairy was started in 1979 by the Wooton family, where they specialized in organic produce, goat milk soap and raising goats, chickens, ducks, and geese.  In 1991 they moved to there current property where it was all pasture.  They planted all the fruit trees, fenced all the pastures, and designed all the gardens that you see today at the farm.  In 1999 the dairy became a certified dairy to sell cheese, and had a milking herd of 12 goats.  After winning multiple awards the business has expanded to a milking herd of 30 does with a full herd of over 100 goats.  You can find the goat cheese at some of Kauai's fine dining resteraunts as well as retail at the Tuesday Waipa Market in Hanalei, and two markets on Saturday in Lihue, and Hanalei.

Today

Kauai Kunana Dairy is Located on the magical north shore of the Garden Island of Kauai. We are Kauai's only dairy with a milking herd of only thirty five does. We are a true micro-dairy, specializing in artisan goat cheese, and goat milk products such as soaps and body products.  Our family farm also produces USDA/HOFA certified organic fruits and vegetables, in addition to our delightful pestos, dressings, honeys, and baked goods. We also keeps bee's and sell honey and beeswax products like lipbalms, salves, and candles.   Our cheeses are served at some of Kauai’s premier restaurants listed below.The Hukilau Lanai, The Sheraton, Baracuda, The Tavern, The Lighthouse Bistro, Dukes, Kauai Pasta(Lihue & Kapaa), The Westin, The Kauai Grill, Merrimans, Living Foods, 22 North, The Garden at Common Ground, Oasis, Roy's Poipu,and the Moloa'a Fruit Stand.

Currently we have had problems with restaraunts not buying cheese from us and claiming on there menu's they do. If you have any questions about who buys cheese from us you can call or email us. We also would love to here where you had our cheese and how they served it. You can comment on our facebook or twitter page.
