🌿 Real Stories. Real Impact.

Right across Santo, you can see how kava is changing lives — farmers building new homes, supporting their families, and creating opportunities that last.

At Forney Enterprises, we’re proud to work directly with local growers every week. By buying direct from farmers here in Santo and across the islands, the money stays where it should — in local hands, helping local families.

This is what it’s all about for us: real partnerships, real progress, and stronger Vanuatu industry!

The Traditional Way Kava is Made in Vanuatu: With a few Chews and a Smile!

In Vanuatu, kava isn’t just a drink, it’s a cultural experience that used to involve a bit of chewing! Yes, traditionally, the kava root was actually chewed to release its natural flavours and active ingredients before being mixed with water and strained into the smooth, earthy drink we all love.
Think of it as nature’s original blender, powered by a lot of island spirit (and a bit of saliva). While it might sound unusual, this method has been passed down for generations, bringing communities together in ceremonies filled with stories, songs, and plenty of laughter.
Nowadays, many use grinding or pounding for convenience, but the chewing tradition remains a proud symbol of Vanuatu’s rich heritage and connection to this sacred root.
So next time you enjoy your kava, remember the journey it’s taken, and maybe give a little nod to the original “chewing crew” who made it all possible!

"This kava isn't cheap.”
We get it – Root & Pestle isn’t the kind of kava you just grab off the shelf. It’s made differently, on purpose.

Our roots come straight from Vanuatu’s most trusted small farms. No stems, peelings, or fillers. Nothing but 100% noble kava, hand-selected and processed within 24 hours of harvest. Each batch is tested in-house at the most advanced kava lab in the industry, so you get the smooth taste, signature effects, and clean consistency we’re known for.

Then we take it one step further: dehydrated to ultra-low moisture content, packed in our HACCP-certified facility, and sealed under nitrogen, for more kava per gram and maximum freshness.

We could have cut corners. Most do. But we drink this stuff, too.

Root & Pestle: For people who want kava done right, not just done.
