Rocky Chenelle

Rocky has a Bachelor of Science degree in Engineering from Cal State University at San Diego and an MBA in business administration.  His experience includes years of engineering, program and marketing management plus general management responsibilities in small business management.  He's never grown anything before and why he would start now is a question not easily answered....He completed coursework at UC Berkeley in the propagation and growing of edible mushrooms in preparation for this adventure (we call him Einstein).  Rocky can be found maintaining all aspects of mushroom production and marketing, and talking about the farm to anyone who will listen!

Paulette Chenelle

Paulette has extensive small business management experience.  She holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts from Cal State University at Long Beach and an MBA in business administration.  Her background includes the startup and management of businesses.  She has been the bridge between the outside workaday world on Maui and the farm, and has somehow still managed to keep her sanity....(we call her Crazy Lady 2).  Paulette can be found doing menial tasks around the farm (riding the lawn mower), on deliveries three times a week, or working on the website, cookbook, or correspondence as time permits.

Corey Chenelle

Corey didn't realize what he was getting into when he volunteered to help build out the farm growing rooms while on a visit here.  He figured 3 months....that was 5 years ago! (We call him Late for Whatever; he has "adapted" to Maui Time).  Corey appears not to talk much, just show up and complete necessary maintenance chores.  Don't let that fool you because he can do all aspects of the farm as he and Rock ran renegade until I joined full time!

The farm was started with the idea of fresh mushrooms for Maui instead of imported.  It has gradually morphed in philosophy from providing fresh mushrooms grown locally to a sustainable philosophy as well.  To grow these mushrooms takes water and electricity.  We are commited to utilizing and conserving our resources with a Green approach to the farm.  Come see what we have done with waste vegetable oil and solar options and what we have future plans for.  Visit our blog page to see the updates.
