Hawaii Tribune-Herald :: Hilo, Hawaii (http://www.hawaiitribune-herald.com/articles/2008/01/27/local_news/local01.txt - broken link)

Big Island residents/visitors...please read the article above...another Hawaii dairy farm is closing.

I had never heard that milk can be up to 20 days old before being shipped to Hawaii.

Maybe it's time to choose local brands--even if it is a couple of dollars more at times?

Talk about "Deja Vu all over again"!

When I first came to Hawaii fifty years ago this month, we drank "recombined" milk. Local milk was expensive. Meadow Gold (anyone remember "Lani Moo" the cow?) imported powdered milk and mixed it with water to make "Recombined". They added coconut oil to make it a bit more "creamy" (my poor arteries!).

It was a big deal when local dairies expanded enough to supply Oahu with all the local milk it could drink. One of them was across an empty lot from my house in Kailua, and we could hear the cows mooing (and when we got Kona winds, smell them). Every now and then we would say "My, the cows are sure loud this evening", then go look out the kitchen window and see that someone had left the gate open, and the herd was standing across the street, waiting for a hand-out. Campos Dairy, Kailua, 1965.

no more dairies on o'ahu. way back there were plenty. most belonged to a co-op (ours included). ours was condemned to make a park. campos dairy--remember that one.
what about all the horse flies when it was kona winds?!!!

no more egg farms on the big island. only four remain on o'ahu.
