PrintLast Oahu Dairy Closing Soon
Oahu's last dairy will be closing on February 15, causing all the island's residents to rely on imported milk. After its closing, Hawaii will only have two dairies, while as recently as 1980, Hawaii had two dozen dairies and was totally self-sufficient in milk production. "The decline in Hawaii's dairy sector and livestock industry in general comes amid rising feed, shipping and land costs, urban encroachment, environmental regulations, and stagnant sales."

Soy milk is tasty, but it's not the same as MOO JUICE!
