The slopes of Haleakala, referred to as "Upcountry Maui," are filled with rich, fertile volcanic soil that is ideal for growing plants. The areas of Kula and Makawao—filled with farms that grow the majority of Maui's local produce—take full advantage of the land's natural fertility. Tour a vineyard, lavender farm, or pineapple plantation and get to sample freshly-grown Maui produce!
