Behind every harvest is a farmer who showed up before sunrise, tended the land with patience, and gave years of dedication to a single crop. At Pacifikava, our farmers are the foundation of everything we do.

Caught early, kava dieback disease can be managed. Weekly checks, prompt removal of infected stems, and proper disposal are the most important steps to protecting your planting area and keeping the rest of your crop virus-free.

Once your planting site has been selected, the land is cleared of weeds, debris, and unwanted trees. The soil is then conditioned through plowing, tilling, or by digging individual holes for seedlings, or softening the ground where cuttings will be placed.

Choosing the right site is the first step in successful kava farming.

Farmers look for well drained slopes with natural shade and often plant in several locations to reduce the risk of cyclone damage.

Planting kava begins with choosing the right site. Farmers look for well‑drained soil, gentle shade, and land that can handle the island’s weather. Many keep several plantations in different areas to reduce the risk of losing crops during cyclones.

#DYK that scientists trace the earliest domestication of kava to just two islands in Vanuatu, Pentecost and Maewo?

These islands aren’t only rich in history; they’re home to vibrant kava traditions, deep cultural knowledge.

Mealybugs thrive in warm, humid environments and can quickly damage plants by sucking sap from leaves, stems, and even roots. Their waxy coating helps them hide in tight spaces and makes them tough to control.

#DYK kava drinking in the USA began making its modern comeback in the 1970s, when people discovered that ground kava root powder could be mixed with water to create a naturally calming effect. Since then, it’s become a favorite for those looking for a gentle way to unwind.

Store your dry kava powder in a cool, dark place to protect its potency. Heat, light, and humidity can cause it to break down over time. Since kava is a natural, perishable product, rotating your supply helps ensure you always enjoy the freshest, highest‑quality batches.
