Maui, Hawaii, Upcountry, Ulupalakua, Sugar Mill Ruins


Ulupalakua is an area of upcountry Maui which has a long history as farm land growing sugar cane, cattle and now wine grapes. The land is still used for ranching with a large tract set aside for preservation of its agricultural heritage. The Ulupalakua Ranch Store & Grill is also part of the historic narrative and is open daily with Maui-grown produce as well as Ranch-grown lamb, beef and elk served fresh from the grill. Across the road from the winery stands a bit of history — the old sugar mill from the time when this area was growing sugar cane and refining it. For the adventurous photographer, these ruins look incredibly inviting. Unfortunately, it is fenced off so one cannot get a close look. The best I could do was zooming in with my zoom lens, resulting in this photo.
