Tours

The Daily Casual Tour is a 30-minute walk around the working dairy with a guide. You feed goats in the pasture, meet the milking mothers, their kids and the bucks, and learn how the milk is handled and the cheese made. It runs at 10am, 11am, noon, 2pm and 3pm. Adults pay $33 and children aged 3 to 11 pay $24.

The Evening Chores and Milking Tour runs once a day at 3:30pm and lasts 45 to 60 minutes. You help with the evening jobs, try milking a goat and watch the dairy at work. It costs $41.50 for adults and $33 for children. There are also adults-only experiences for those 18 and over, such as time with the senior goats or the baby goats in the kidding pen.

Every tour has a guide; none are self-guided. Tours run rain or shine. Cancel at least 48 hours ahead or you pay in full. The most popular times sell out, so book ahead online, which also saves 10%.

Cheese and the Cafe

You can visit the cafe and gift shop without a tour, but you will not get into the farm or feed the goats. The cafe serves a flight of six chèvres, charcuterie boards, light lunches and baking such as banana bread and cheesecake. A cheese flight can be added to any tour for $27. The shop sells goat milk soaps and lotions and local crafts.

Haleakala Creamery

Kula has a second goat dairy that takes visitors. Haleakala Creamery runs a 90-minute Farm to Spoon tour, led by the owner, on Fridays at 9:30am for up to 12 people, with a cheese tasting plate for each adult. The farm is private, so you can only visit on a booked tour.

Getting There

The dairy is in Upcountry Maui on the lower slopes of Haleakala, a drive up from Kahului airport. There is no useful bus, so you need a car. Pair it with a drive up to the Haleakala summit or lunch in Kula.
