I just came across a set of really interesting statistics about the number of farms in Hawai'i. The number has actually grown, but the size of each farm is much smaller (less than 10 acres each). Another interesting thing is most of the small farmers make less than $10,000 a year, and most are run by women.
Whenever you can, please kokua and buy produce grown by the local farmers. You are helping to ensure that Hawai'i will not be totally without food if there was ever a catastrophe. And as long as the farms are producing food, they cannot be developed into condos or multimillion dollar houses.

Here's another story about why it's good to buy food grown closer to home.
