Namahana Farms began as just that. In 1977, the late Ben Dyre developed the area into one of the largest fruit and vegetable farms on Kaua‘i. At the time, Namahana was Kauai's largest banana producer—over 1.5 million lbs a year. Namahana Farms was also one of the Island’s largest cucumber and greenhouse tomato producers.

After Kaua‘i bared the brunt of Hurricane Iwa in 1982, which destroyed the crops and the infrastructure of the active farm, Ben decided not to rebuild the farm operation—and instead created this beautiful agricultural subdivision, which many now proudly call home. His ‘ohana continues to live at Namahana Farms and are grateful to be able to raise their children there.

Today, Namahana Farms is home to a vibrant residential community of 44 CPR units, known for its lush greenery and stunning mountain views. The community remains deeply connected to its rich history and the farming traditions of its past.
