Earth Aloha Eats - Lahaina

Earth Aloha Eats is a fresh, 100% vegan family food business that has started operation in 2018 on the island of Maui, Hawaii.

Danielle and Jeremy have been entrepreneurs since the age of 22. In fact, they built their first company from the ground up and sold it to a private equity firm at 28. Coming from a family of entrepreneurs and a strong belief in small businesses, Danielle and Jeremy know a great opportunity when they see one. Shortly before moving to Maui, they switched to a plant-based diet, and the transition was hard. They found themselves eating out all the time, and couldn’t figure out how to make their favorite comfort foods vegan. After tons of research, Danielle released an e-book and got a lot of feedback, which then turned into her eco essentials brand, Earth Aloha. After finding themselves eating out at a vegan food truck 3-4x a week for a few months in a row, when the opportunity to buy the truck presented itself they jumped on it and transformed it into Earth Aloha Eats.

What started out as zero waste essentials and eco kits, quickly grew into a family-owned plant-based food truck. Owners, Danielle and Jeremy Golesh, bought the food truck from a previous owner, and with Danielle’s Earth Aloha brand already making strides, she decided to take it to the next level. After they bought the food truck, they revamped the menu and poured their energy into it.

Once the pandemic hit, they realized they needed a few sets of extra hands. They hired their brother and nephew, and from then on, it was only uphill. In March 2021, they opened their second location. And with a 500% rise of veganism from 2014 in today’s society, now is the perfect time to join the plant-based industry!
