Historical
Store Tidbits
Native Hawaiians that lived in the surrounding area would share and trade their harvest from the uplands and fresh catch from the surrounding oceans near Hanamaulu Bay. In the early part of the last century the Lihue Plantation Company was mainly responsible for the existence of the building at the current location. In the early 1950’s, construction of the wood mill and wood shop were built – thus a legacy was born.
The plantation style building would continue operating into the late 1980’s as the only Native Hawaiian operated manufacture of Hawaiian wood products and small furniture. The original store was named “the Old Hardwood Factory.” Creating classic unique wood products, calabash bowls, platters, Hawaiian umeke and other house wear. All hand designed and harvested from Kauai’s forest. The store continued operating over the decades in various formats but still under the original families until the early 1990’s. Family members had moved on while others retired and the torch was passed to the next generation. Since the 1990’s they’ve continued the operation as the Kaua’i Fruit & Flower Company.
