“At Mana, a deep desire is shared among us all for wholesome, healthful living with a commitment to regenerative agriculture, the local economy, and holistic health education.”
In this mission, the Mana Botanics team is focused on the environment that “aspires to be a force of good” in the hemp industry and in all they do.
Mana Botanics is based out of the beautiful Big Island of Hawaii. The Honaunau Farm is the birthplace of Mana Botanics and is located in the foothills of the Mauna Loa Volcano. Its proximity to the volcano gives the land-rich minerals ideal for growing herbs some of which are used in Mana products.
Honaunau Farm was a macadamia nut farm in the 80s and 7.5 acres of the land are still a multitude of macadamia nut trees. The farm has two plantain varieties as well as sixteen different varieties of bananas. Other fruit trees include eight kinds of avocados, dragon fruit, star fruit, fig, citrus, papaya, and more. Several varieties of bamboo also grow on Honaunau Farm. Additionally, herbs and spices are in abundance including cinnamon, nutmeg, basil, rosemary, and others.
The turmeric, passionflower, and comfrey used in Mana products are also cultivated on the Honaunau Farm.
Mana Botanics uses ingredients they grow at the Honaunau Farm or locally sourced ingredients wherever possible. Any ingredient sourced off of the farm is organic and sustainably farmed. The macadamia nut oil, honey, and cinnamon used are all sourced from the Big Island. Whereas hemp oil is sustainably grown in the sunshine of Colorado and is pesticide and chemical-free.
Mana Botanics believes in Ho’Ohana, or the value of worthwhile work and working with intention and purpose. This shows in not only the quality of their products but also in the programs they are passionate about.
Regenerative farming is agriculture that uses a rehabilitation and conservation approach to growing. Practices such as composting, topsoil regeneration, and increasing biodiversity are used to strengthen the soil. This is opposed to other farming methods that rely on chemicals and other additives to support growth.
The Honaunau Farm has been in the Mana Bonatics family since 2007. In the last 13 years, the farm has boasted thousands of guests offering a community to find nourishment and learn about wellness and regenerative agriculture.
Mana Botanics already has a small plastic footprint with very little plastic used in their packaging. However, their team wanted to make a much larger impact by protecting the planet from harmful plastic waste.
“Plastic Negative” is the term used to describe a person or company that offsets their use of plastic. In an effort to become Plastic Negative, Mana Botanics has joined a One-for-One program in partnership with rePurpose Global. What this means is for every Mana Botanics product sold, 1lb of nature bound plastic is eliminated.
The Mana Up Program is an initiative aimed at Hawaii’s economic development. 73 companies applied to the program, and Mana Botanics was one of the 11 companies chosen to participate in the 12-week accelerator program. The vision of Mana Up is to spur real economic growth for the Hawaiian community. The program specifically chooses companies that support authentic Hawaiian culture, like Mana Botanics.
All Mana Botanics products are sustainably crafted and made to help consumers achieve overall wellness through the use of plants and herbs.
