Breakfast:
Wwe have been very successful
at raising our own chickens. Because of the
tropical climate, we are able to grow lots of leafy greens, including broccoli,
cabbage, Choy, leeks, green beans, peas, etc. All of the by-products are fed to
the chickens along with a egg-layer mash, corn and lots of fresh papayas. This
combination produces some of the fines eggs in Hawaii. Egg farms in the USA are
unsightly smelly places where many of the fresh eggs are tainted with steroids
and antibiotics. The
food industry has become so large that no one agency can oversee what goes into
the products we consume on a daily basis. However, small independent farms here
on the Big Island of Hawaii strive to produce food that is not tainted with
drugs or hormones. Small cattle ranches graze their
livestock on lush green grass and papayas. The fruit acts as a meat tenderizer
and products wonderful Big Island Burgers.
Our
chickens have their own pasture where they can gr
aze free range style and produce
the best eggs!
The chickens are free range and graze on grass and vegetable leftovers from our
gardens. We have several types of chickens which lay brown, white or blue eggs.
The egg yoke are more orange then the ones sold at the local food stores due to
the grain our chickens eat. They are feed a diet of egg layer mash mixed
with oyster shells and a 50/50 corn mix scratch.
