Located on Hawaiian Homestead land, Purdy's 5 acre mac nut farm is a fun and friendly place to visit on Molokai. This is Molokai's top tourist attraction. The farm is 70 years old and the owners are full of Aloha. Tuddie or Kammy Purdy will personally take you on a tour and tell you everything you wanted to know about the macadamia nut. They will even provide hands-on demonstrations on how to crack this extremely hard nut and give you samples of nuts, macadamia honey, and other nut products.

The macadamia nut is the only food product that is every stage of development on the same tree at the same time. This Grassroots farm really gets the visitors interested in mac nuts. Feel free to walk through the grove, taste the products, and shop in the little store. They are always happy to answer questions and give terrific educational advice about their precious product.

To get to Purdy's: From Kaunakakai, take Highway 460 towards the airport. Before you reach the airport, turn right onto Highway 470. Then turn left onto Highway 480 (Farrington Highway). Turn right on Lihi Pali Drive. Purdy's Nut Farm is a short distance down the road on the right. There is a large sign out front. They ask that you do not park in front of the driveway.

Admission is free and so are the fresh mac nuts you'll get to crack open yourself. A great family place that the kids will love!
