Fork & Salad, a Maui farm-to-table fast-casual chain, has been named the island's number one salad spot, a win for local farmers and for residents looking for affordable healthy food.

• The restaurant opened in 2016 to offer farm-to-table meals at far lower prices than the hotels, which charge $30 for a small salad.
• It now has three locations: Kihei, Kahului across from Target, and a new one in Lahaina near the Cannery Mall.
• Around 80% of its produce comes from Kumu Farms, a certified organic Maui farm delivering three days a week, keeping money in the local economy.
• The menu goes beyond salads, with six protein options, wraps, sandwiches, and gluten-free choices; the Lahaina location feeds many construction workers rebuilding the area.
• Orders can be placed through the Local by Toast app and are ready in under 15 minutes.

Outlook: The chain plans to keep growing its local sourcing model across Maui, with the papaya dream salad as the chef's current signature pick.
