Lovely grounds - Really enjoyed the walk to sugar cane damn. Beautiful. The staff was so friendly and even helped me identify some birds. So interesting learning about the types of plants and food. Dinner was very good and they had great cocktails. They also provided nice umbrellas if needed. Bring bug spray although they do sell a natural one there if you forget yours. Try all the honey. It was great and I bought some for friends.

Healthy, local foods are possible. - Not only a taste experience with new foods but also a real educational treat. We were shown a way of farming that needs to replace the broken, major company driven agricultural system we now are forced into. Locally grown, organic, healthy foods are possible for all of us if we dare fight the food giants poisoning our land and our bodies.

Great local food and sustainable farm experience! - We had such a great experience at Common Ground. It was so interesting to learn about the food forest and regenerative practices. And of course, the meal was incredible. Highly recommend if you’re on Kauai and want to really experience the local flavors and support a worthy business.

Unique Tour and Dining experience near Princeville - This is a unique educational experience combined with a delicious meal sourced exclusively in Kauai. This is especially good for regular visitors to the Princeville area who tire of the same old restaurant fare. Our visit started with a self-guided walk to the old stone dam, originally built for irrigation back in the day. We then went on a interesting and informative tour led by the enthusiastic Kahani who introduced us to the environmentally friendly concept of a food forest, and tour of the farm. This was followed by a filling and tasty meal where all ingredients down to the salt we locally sourced. Interesting cocktails from made with locally produced liquor can also be enjoyed before dinner. My only recommendations are that the menu feature a more child friendly dish and that their signs be moved closer to the main highway for improved visibility.

Beautiful (and delicious) food forest tour! - Unforgettable experience. The best meal we had on the entire Hawaiian and 100% FROM the island! Kalani was a great guide who enthusiastically showed how the food forest is thought out and how much love and care is integrated with their practices and their earth. Beautiful showcase of natural sustainability! The meal at the end is one I’ll always remember. Don’t skip this! It’s so worth it — would 100% come back and can’t wait for the 2027 opening!

Wonderful Experience - This was a really fabulous time, and we learned great information on the project to create sustainability on the Island. Sophia was really knowledgeable and friendly, and the food was delicious. Highly recommend! **Side note, my friend and I used uber to get here, and getting the ride back with an Uber was tricky. We made it back to our hotel thanks to knowledgeable drivers who knew of Common Ground Kaua’i.

Interesting but too expensive. - Tour was quite short but interesting. Food was OK, but not great. My primary complaint is the price. Definitely our highest priced meal in Hawaii, but far from the best. At 2/3 the price I would have given it a weak 4. Staff were great.
