Our plans include the placement of a conservation easement on the Agricultural Lands. The effect of this will be to ensure that the lands are used for agriculture forever. Preserving this use in perpetuity helps maintain the rural atmosphere of the resort and contributes to employment and food security. An agricultural management plan will be developed to improve agricultural practices, provide farmers with long-term leases and increased opportunities to bring their products to market and to create community gardens. Agricultural operations will be better integrated with resort operations creating farm-to-table opportunities, along with a permanent farmer’s market location, and agri-tourism opportunities for resort guests.Turtle Bay Resort is already working with the Trust for Public Land and the North Shore Community Land Trust to dedicate the mauka lands for agricultural use in perpetuity.
