Buying meat direct from a farmer has become easier in recent times. Over the last couple of years, there has been a big shift to moving traditional businesses online. One industry to benefit is the direct farmer to consumer, providing the farmgate to plate experience.

Buy Half a Cow: Hawaii
DOUBLE D RANCH
Double D Ranch was formed in 1996 in Laupahoehoe, Hawaii. We are a family owned and operated ranch that raises cattle, goats, sheep, and hogs. Our young children are fifth generation ranchers born into Hawaii’s unique ranching heritage. The cattle at Double D Ranch are Certified Animal Welfare Approved by A Greener World (AGW) and Certified Grassfed by AGW, the first—and only—food label in North America that guarantees food products come from animals fed a 100 percent grass and forage diet, and raised entirely outdoors on pasture or range.
