Mālama da Farmer Grantee: Puna Chicks

Punachicks Farm, based in Hawai‘i, is on a mission to boost local egg production in response to national shortages and a growing demand for pasture-raised eggs. Their regenerative model respects the natural behavior of chickens while enhancing soil and pasture health. To maintain a consistent supply, Punachicks is building new flock areas, expanding their brooder capacity, and launching an on-farm Black Soldier Fly system to reduce feed costs and recycle waste. Once complete, these improvements will allow for a 70–80% increase in production, helping supply stores, co-ops, and families across the islands with healthy, locally produced eggs.
