Ep. 1375 Hawaii's Condominium Farming

Michael Olson with Peter Savio, Savio Realty LTD, Honolulu, HI

In the 1970s, Secretary of Agriculture Earl Butz told America’s farmers to “Get big or get out.”  Since Butz made his proclomation, farms have been getting bigger, and farmers have been getting fewer.  This leads us contrarians to ask:

Can unprofitable big farms be converted into profitable small farms?

Topics include how real estate developer Peter Savio converted Hawaii’s defunct plantations into income-generating condominium farms; how condominium farmers generate a huge cash income from their 1 or 2 acre-sized farms; and how the condominium farm community is organized around a plantation camp.
