The next edition of the Slow Food O'ahu e-newsletter is delayed and will be send out near the end of May. However, we promise you a variety of great activities scheduled for summer.
In the meantime, we are canvassing our members regarding ordering more meat - both pork and beef as we continue our efforts to support local farmers and ranchers by purchasing their quality meat. We would appreciate your reply if you are interested.

Are you interested in ordering local pork and beef???
Island Pork: Slow Food O'ahu looking into buying island raised pork, from the Windward side of Oahu. A little bit more challenging than our Molokai beef because the pig is smaller and has distinct parts--like feet, pork belly, chops, etc. We would like to get some feedback on who is interested and what parts they would like to purchase. We would, of course, prefer to divide the animal up fairly evenly into 4 portions. The cost would be about $5 per pound overall and each portion would be about 20 - 25 pounds. We might have to price some parts higher and some lower if we can't just divide it up into 4 portions. Please email Laurie Carlson with your comments/thoughts on this topic. laurie@honoluluweekly.com
Another order of Beef: We are putting together another Moloka'i beef order this month. This beef is local, pasture raised, no hormones, no antibiotics. The cost per 1/8 share (about 40 pounds meat, 1/2 of which is ground beef and 1/2 of which is a variety of steaks and roasts) is $250 for SF members, $300 for non-members. Delivery is generally on a Tuesday afternoon between 3:15 and 3:45--and you or your agent must be available to pick up the order. If you are interested, please send your check, made out to Slow Food O'ahu to 1172 Lunahaneli Place, Kailua, HI 96734.
