organic keiki

after living in sf where she first became acquainted with the growing green movement, regan ranoa decided it was time to move back home and find a way to make the eco lifestyle more accessible in the islands. along the way, she worked on an organic farm on the big island where lessons such as how the pesticides used in conventional farming can affect the 'aina for generations to come resonated with her newfound mission.

she left the big island with a renewed purpose that she was on the right path, and as fate would have it, learned of a maui mother who was selling her company catering to the islands' smallest kama'aina. along with her mom, regan took over organic keiki, moved it to kailua, and nurtured its possibilities of bringing non-toxic & sustainable playthings and garments made of organic fibers to island parents who shared their concerns about leaving a healthy planet to hawaii's children.

organic keiki is also one of only a handful of spots in the islands where parents can stock up on gdiapers, a flushable & compostable alternative in the disposable versus cloth diapers debate.

the mother and daughter team also have a passion for buying local and stock island made goods like sweet island baby mei tei carriers, handmade blankets from yamuna organics, and debra mack jewelry for moms. and, noting the lack of organic togs made for island keiki, plans are in the works to launch an in-house clothing collection for little ones later this year.

one thing to keep in mind is that all orders are shipped via usps and currently pick up is not available for oahu residents, however this weekend brings the first of two chances to go organic in person during the green living expo at the blaisdell (free admission). and, if you have your tix to next month's kokua festival, be sure to stop by organic keiki's booth in the kokua village and say hello!
