Aloha!

Last week our subscriber list grew past 1,000 subscribers. We're very pleased with the slow and steady growth of the Hawai'i Homegrown Food Network.

When chef/owner Edwin Goto opened Village Burger Waimea a year ago, he staked his culinary reputation on a personal belief that the most delicious, wholesome foods are grown close to home.  His tiny fresh-from-scratch restaurant boasts a “low mileage” menu and even posts the miles to the farms and ranches that provide fresh hormone-free beef, locally caught fish, lettuces, tomatoes, mushrooms, strawberries, breads, and more.

Kassie and Mark Rogers in Waimea have several yearling sheep and a 28 month old healthy cow for meat, along with some young sheep and a milking goat, and will soon have eggs.  To contact them, call  927-4068 or email This email address is being protected from spambots.

Ohia Fields Farm in Ahualoa has a few shares remaining for their Spring Season CSA, which begins April 15th - twelve weeks of fresh vegetables and other goodies (including chicken and lamb with the "deluxe" selection) plus a newsletter with recipes delivered to your door in most locations.  They deliver to Waikoloa, Waimea and Honoka'a and all the way down to Hilo, where they have a pick-up point.  Call 430-3847 or e-mail This email address is being protected from spambots.
