About Us

A 6TH GENERATION WORKING TARO FARM IN HANALEI VALLEY, KAUAʻI, HAWAIʻI.  

 
Hoʻopulapula Haraguchi Rice Mill is a 501(c)(3) Nonprofit agrarian Museum located in the taro fields of Hanalei Valley for Education and Sustainability. It is listed on the National Historic Register of Historic Places and dates back to the 1800’s. It is the ONLY remaining rice mill in ALL of HAWAIʻI!

The Haraguchi family has restored the mill three times; after a fire in 1930, then again after Hurricane Iwa in 1982 and Hurricane Iniki in 1992. The mill ceased operating in 1960 when Kauaʻi's rice industry collapsed. A nonprofit organization was formed to preserve and interpret the mill, which has been visited by thousands of school children and adults in the past 45 years.
 
The organization is guided by an unpaid Board of Directors. These include President Rodney Haraguchi, whose great-grandfather and grandfather bought the mill in 1924; his wife, Karol; and his daughter, Lyndsey, Doctorate of Education. Other board members are Gary Pacheco, Patricia Sheehan, and Sue Boynton. Barnes Riznik, PhD was a founding Board member and has been a mentor and inspiration to our organization. Although he is no longer with us, his memory will endure and we miss him greatly.
 
The Haraguchi Family has humbly worked for years to preserve this historic site and in doing so have been able to preserve the memory of the people who lived, worked and farmed in Hanalei in the past.

This website will help you learn more about the Hoʻopulapula Haraguchi Rice Mill and our educational programs. We hope you will join our organization and help support our work.
 
Please RESPECT residents & endangered wildlife- NO Public access into the farm & Rice Mill.
