Moloa'a, Kauai
ANNOUNCEMENT: As of 4/30/22: THE GOOD NEWS: The Covid infection rate has dropped and we have restarted our tours. In December 2021, we stopped scheduling new tours and canceled some already-scheduled tours due to high Covid infection rates on Kauai.
HOWEVER, Covid infection rates are again on the rise, so please be aware we may have to again resort to cancelations and cessation of new scheduling.
At present all tour openings are filled through to the beginning of our family time, as given below. We do, rarely, have cancelations, so please feel free to contact us for a more current update.
We have reserved family time from Wednesday, May 18, 2022 through Wednesday, June 1, 2022 and Wednesday, June 8, 2022 through Wednesday June 29, 2022. We will not be scheduling tours during these times.

We are still growing cacao and making chocolate and will gladly respond to purchase requests, including mail-orders.
Aloha
Howard & Sally
The HouLau Story is a story about more than chocolate. It's much more personal than that.
It's about Sally's and Howard's GRAND ADVENTURE!
HouLau means "new leaf". The Farm is a means of reinventing ourselves. It's about our quest to write the next chapter of our lives within the rich culture and incomparable beauty of Kauai...and, to make "the best chocolate in the world".
We both love gardening but neither of us had had any experience creating or running a farm, much less, how to grow cacao trees or to make chocolate. It's been a labor of love.
Though it is "our" story, it's woven into a tapestry of support and assistance from an untold number of others. It's to each and every person who has contributed our dream; from family and friends, to professionals, laborers, and store clerks, to others in the chocolate industry et. al. that we dedicate our chocolate. It has truly taken a village to bring our dream this far.
