Uncle Manny is a hidden gem of Virginia Beach/Hampton Roads area. He is keeping the Hawaiian culture alive in the east coast. I got a chance to meet Uncle at the Alohalaule’a event at Norfolk to pick up my kalo, I felt like I was back home in Hawaii. I made pork lau lau and squid luau with my order. Kalo was fantastic quality! I’ll definitely purchase again. Thanks Uncle!!

Uncle shared his gold at the end of a rainbow! Fresh lūʻau delivered up and down the east coast can’t be missed. Be sure to track his travels and reserve your bags of lūʻau - I know we won’t! Ma ka hana ka ʻike, the valuable lessons taught to our keiki while folding chunks of meat, pork, and fish into savory moist laulau made it even more special and Ono! Mahalo nui!

Aloha Gardens Kalo bundle is worth the buy. It comes in a sealed bag for freshness. Being that we were at a Group camp, Manny brought his products to us and also did a short presentation which was awesome. I would definitely recommend them for those of us living in The Midwest/East Coast. He does not do shipping but if he travels near your area for delivery make sure you contact them.

Ordered a few bundles. They were perfectly packaged. I made 100 laulau’s . They came out perfect(so ono) My son drove up from Louisiana to make sure he got some laulau to take back home with him. He said, mama just what I needed, comfort food… I’m already running low and can’t wait for February, hopefully I’ll get to order more.Mahalo so much Aloha garden and uncle Manny, for making this possible. Cause we hungry…❤️🌸🌴🌺🤙

Kalo was brought to us in sealed bags and was fresh. The 5 lb bag was full of many large leaves and several small leaves great for stews and other lau lau dishes. The bundle waa great and made several lau lau. Everyone who tried them commented on how ono they were. But most importantly the Aloha from this company was so amazing. We enjoyed the entire experience of our Kalo pick up. We cannot wait until next year!

2024-10-25T12:08:35.642Z

The Aloha, the Kalo, the experience, love it all! Mahalo and looking forward to 2025 Kalo runs.

Uncle Manny is absolutely awesome in his mission to spread aloha with his beautiful kalo!He made a special effort to deliver a bag of kalo for luau that we hoped to prepare during our stay at the beach. How?! He picked the leaves and met us en route to the beach in July. And he had a cooler so all we had to do was get bags of ice for the trip to the beach. Mahalo nui loa, Uncle Manny!See you next year!!

Aloha Gardens is a beautiful Community bringing light to the Hawaiian culture in Hampton roads. I was lucky enough to meet with Manny and be able to get some of his green tea leaves as decor for my table! The leaves are from Friday and still look absolutely amazing! Such a statement piece for my table. Next, I can’t wait to try the Kalo. Thanks so much Aloha Gardens💜💜
