Hawaii

Hawaii, while it might be a tropical paradise and top-rated tourist attraction, also has a fairly robust agricultural landscape. Amazingly, this small island still has room for 7,300 farms and over 1.1 million acres of farmland. Pasture makes up the bulk of the farmland, with 761,816 acres allocated for permanent pasture and 191,175 acres allocated for crops.

The state raises cattle and hogs, producing around 144,000 cattle and 9,000 hogs annually. As for crops, Hawaii is known for macadamias, coffee, papayas, avocados, and pineapples.

Regenerative, responsible farming is a critical component to maintaining and conserving wildlife and the natural ecosystem in Hawaii. Supporting farms that practice this provides consumers with the highest quality nutrition from ethically raised animals and creates a demand in this space, hopefully encouraging other farms to follow in their footsteps.
