Hawaii has a smaller but surprisingly robust local meat scene. The Big Island's Waimea region (Kamuela) is home to some of Hawaii's oldest and most prestigious cattle ranches — Parker Ranch, one of the largest ranches in the US, is located there. Hawaiian beef, particularly from grass-fed operations on the Big Island, is prized for its clean flavor from animals raised in volcanic soil pastures.
Big Island and Waimea
The Waimea area on the Big Island is the heart of Hawaiian cattle ranching. Parker Ranch and several smaller operations produce high-quality beef increasingly available direct to consumers and through Honolulu restaurants and specialty shops. Browse all Hawaii butcher shops.
