Rooted in Aloha: How Local Sourcing Powers Our Broth

Rooted in Aloha: How Local Sourcing Powers Our Broth

On Maui, food has always been more than fuel. It’s a relationship—between people, the land, and the stories we pass on. At Maui Bone Broth, we believe true nourishment begins with where your food comes from and how it’s made. That’s why we’re committed to sourcing locally, practicing regeneration, and creating broth that supports the health of both people and the āina.

Every jar of broth we make begins right here on the island, with bones from 100% grass-fed, free-range cattle raised on Maui pastures. These animals roam open land, eat what nature provides, and live in harmony with the environment. This isn’t just better for the animals—it’s better for us. Healthier soil produces healthier food. When we care for the land, the land returns the favor.

But local sourcing is about more than geography. It’s about closing the loop. In a world of industrial food waste and anonymous supply chains, we’ve chosen to do things differently. We use bones that might otherwise be discarded and turn them into something deeply nourishing. By honoring the whole animal, we reduce waste, respect life, and contribute to a circular food system that gives back to the island.

We also partner with Maui farmers and hunters to source organic herbs and healing roots—turmeric grown in volcanic soil, rosemary grown on the slopes of the Haleakala, garlic harvested with intention. These ingredients don’t just add flavor; they carry the essence of place. When you sip our broth, you’re tasting the island itself—its richness, its vitality, its quiet strength.

Local food isn’t just more sustainable. It’s more nutrient-dense. It’s fresher, more flavorful, and made with care by people who love where they live. Supporting local sourcing means empowering small-scale producers, keeping dollars in the community, and building resilience in our island economy.

When you choose Maui Bone Broth, you’re choosing more than a nourishing product. You’re participating in a system that values sustainability over shortcuts, relationships over convenience, and healing over hype. You’re supporting ranchers, farmers, foragers, and artisans who put their hearts into their work.

We call this approach Land to Ladle—a commitment to transparency, integrity, and regeneration at every step of the process. From pasture to pot, every decision we make is rooted in aloha.

This is how healing happens. One bowl at a time. One community at a time. One sip at a time.
