Discover the heart of COMO Laucala Island’s farm-to-table philosophy with a tour of our organic farm. Spanning 240 lush acres and home to roaming cattle, flourishing vegetable gardens and state-of-the art hydroponics, the farm provides more than 80 per cent of our island’s fresh ingredients.
This is a unique way to experience all Laucala has to offer, giving insight into where your food comes from during your stay, and the day-to-day culture of island life.
The COMO Laucala Island organic farm tour is conducted by our Executive Chef or the General Manager. Your tour begins with a guided overview of the herb garden, greenhouses, fruit orchards and hydroponics sheds, before heading over to the stables where you will meet our horses, offering apples or freshly split coconuts as treats. You’ll then visit the poultry shed populated with prized Austrian Sulmtaler chickens, followed by the piggery, whose residents provide a vital role in our island’s sustainable waste disposal.
Depending on the tour, you may have the opportunity to participate in hands-on activities – feeding animals, harvesting herbs and picking vegetables – giving you a deeper understanding of farm life. We aim to personalise the tour based on your interests: pick vanilla pods we use for our desserts and ice-cream, stop by the beehives for a taste of island honey, or forage for banana, papaya or cassava in time for our weekly Fijian ‘Lovo’ dinners.
Throughout the tour, your guide will talk you through the practicalities of managing an island farm, covering everything from sustainable agriculture to animal welfare.
