History

Established in 2003.

Kai-​Kai Farm, founded in 2003, is about 9 miles west of I-​95 on Kanner Highway just east of Payson Park. The 40-​acre site was designed and built for growing specialty vegetables for the local market. The list of vegetables is lengthy and most varieties are not found in local grocery stores because they are usually more delicate and not bred for long distance travel; notwithstanding this attribute the vegetables still outlast their commercial counterparts because of their freshness. Carl and Diane have owned and operated Kai Kai since its founding. Both have professional training in horticulture and entomology and they are passionate about what they grow and their customer service. Clients include families and restaurants. Kai-​Kai produce is sold at the Gardens GreenMarket, Palm Beach Gardens on Sundays and Jupiter Green & Artisan Market at Riverwalk on Friday nights.
