Last Oahu dairy bites the dustHONOLULU (AP)--The last Oahu dairy is closing down, leaving the island without any local milk or other dairy products. With the demise of Pacific Dairy in Waianae Valley, the only remaining island dairies are two on the Big Island. This leaves only imported dairy products for Oahu residents--most of it from the mainland. In the past eight years, four Oahu dairies and three on the Big Island have shut down. Up until the 1980s, Hawaii had nearly two dozen dairies which produced all the milk needed in the islands. The 42-acre Pacific Dairy property was recently sold, and officials say it will no longer be used for agriculture. Its 300 dairy cattle are to be slaughtered or sold. 6/2/08 Date: 5/23/08 Advertisement
