Meet Caroline

The heart behind Farm to Belly Hawaii.

My love for cooking began at age 12, inspired by my mom who taught me the power of preparing food with intention, care, and love. This business was originally born in Buffalo, my hometown, during the pandemic. After losing my job, I began preparing gourmet meals from my home kitchen and delivering them around the city — feeding people became my way of grounding myself and serving others in uncertain times.

That spark led me to Kauaʻi, where I dove deeper into agriculture and food systems. I spent years immersed in farm-to-table cooking, running weekly luaus for 200 guests and hosting intimate, multi-course dinners. I eventually launched my own private chef and catering business there, rooted in community, seasonality, and nourishment.

Now based in Kailua, Oʻahu, I bring that same energy to retreats, private dinners, and meal prep across the island. I create beautiful, seasonal menus tailored to your needs — whether you’re keto, paleo, plant-based, Ayurvedic, or seeking something uniquely you. As a student of Ayurvedic medicine, I also specialize in meals designed with healing in mind.

Food is more than a service — it’s how I connect with people, with place, and with purpose.
