...thus explaining why food is consistently 20+% more expensive in Hawaii than in California, despite year-round growing conditions. The only goat dairy on the Big Island imports all their feed from continental US. Apparently local forage would make the milk taste "off". Nobody grows hay in Hawaii, probably because there is no dry (enough) season to dry it in, and (maybe?) nobody has thought of trucking it to the dry side. Or something. Agriculture is always harder that it seems like it ought to be. Cheap shipping forgives a lot. |
