You may be asking how does a butcher and baker create a stronger Hawaii?

The Local General Store’s meats (beef, pork, chicken, venison, and lamb) are sourced directly from ranchers across Hawaii. They get the animals in whole, cut them into retail cuts, and sell them directly to their customers at the farmers market. This increases accessibility of locally grown meat to the local community.

Also, their pastries highlight local produce and fruits – working with farmers from Waiahole to Waialua. These farmers are always highlighted in their menus. By sourcing directly from the farmers, they are ensuring that the majority of your dollar spent with their business goes back to local farmers and ranchers
