#Ho‘ōla Farms

Luis Rincon, who has been operating Rincon Family Farms in Waimea for 35 years, is a lifelong farmer, starting out with his family in Mexico. The 70-year-old says the hardships of farming are many, no matter what your age, but for him, it’s hard to bend down and work in the field eight hours a day so availability of labor is important. Rincon farms about 13 acres in the Lālāmino Farm Lots. 

Hawai‘i Island’s food hubs are bridging the gap between local farmers and consumers, offering Community Supported Agriculture boxes, online markets, and commodity distribution to support local agriculture and provide easy access to fresh produce.
