Good food from people who are passionate about sustainability! - The folks at Common Ground are passionate about sustainable farming practices. On a tour of their grounds we were introduced to the plants they grow and the way they grow them to regenerate the soil. Our meal was grown entirely within a couple acres, other than a few exceptions which were still from mostly within a 10 mile radius of the property. We learned a great deal and we had a tasty meal we could feel good about. If you get there early, there is a short hike up to a swimming hole - the stone dam in their photos. All in all, a lovely experience!

Thought provoking and delicious too - Our experience with Common Ground was very special. The grounds and facilities are welcoming and delightful. Upon arrival we had refreshing beverages - I tried the ginger beer which was doctored up with local juices and very refreshing. The tour was very informative and thought provoking for how they are sustainably farming and realizing an amazing amount of produce from small, strategic plantings. We were lucky to be the only two on this particular day and time and so we had a private, plated dinner with personal attention from the chefs for an exchange about the food we were eating. The meal was amazing, well presented, representative of the island flavors, and rich in diverse use of farm produce. If you enjoy learning about sustainable farming and enjoy beautiful, flavorful meals, this is the place to go!

Great tour - Sofia was both informative and friendly for the farm tour teaching us about regenerative farming as we strolled the grounds. This was followed by a delicious buffet with all farm grown produce that was both colorful and scrumptious

Sustainable agriculture meets a gourmet chef - It’s an intriguing view of agriculture, and how it can self sustaining. It’s in its infancy and with a new grant to expand the operation it gives them an opportunity to learn from mistakes, and to maximize the success. The food and dinner were excellent. Very much a farm to table concept using all Kauai products, other than salt. It is a rotating menu, so your experience will be different but I expect it will be equally as good.

Amazing! - What an amazing way to spend our time. Our tour guide was great as well as the rest of the employees. We got there early and walked to the dam. We saw horses and made an offering to the Buddha. I would love to do this tour with all of the seasons!
