dc.descriptionWInspired by memories of Waialeʻe’s past, Paul and Verna are motivated by values of community resilience and sustainable living, or in Hawaiʻi, "sustʻāinable" living. Sustʻāinability emphasizes an approach to living that honors "ʻāina," the Hawaiian word for land that translates to, "that which feeds." At the core, Paul and Verna's approach to sustainability lies in restoring food accessibility for the present and future generations of the North Shore community. Memories of another way of life inspire the Eguires' vision of a sustʻāinable future for Waialeʻe. That 90% of Hawaiʻi's food is imported, sustʻāinability for Paul and Verna means re-establishing a livestock facility that produces quality, grass-fed beef in ecologically sound ways within the local economy. With only 5.8% of beef consumed in Hawaiʻi produced by local ranchers, the Eguires are working to shift cattle ranching and distribution back to the islands. Their wish is to make “farm to table” an everyday reality in Waialeʻe.
