This family-owned business is Hawaii’s most sustainable and prolific producer of local chicken eggs. As an organization, Waialua Fresh focuses on innovation, sustainability, and market expansion. It embraces cutting-edge technology to improve production efficiency and product quality. On the ground level, Waialua Fresh fosters strong relationships within the community via its exceptional communication and customer service.
