Immerse yourself in the essence of sustainable dining with our exclusive farm-to-table tour. This in-depth exploration offers a behind-the-scenes look at how we cultivate and harvest the island's freshest ingredients.
Stroll through lush organic gardens, aromatic spice plantations, and thriving orchards, all meticulously tended to bring the best of nature to your table. See firsthand how our commitment to sustainability shapes every meal.
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.
