This month's segment features Twin Bridge Farms, which covers 250 acres of former Waialua Sugar Company land on Oahu. The farm is most famous for its tasty and tender asparagus. Partners Milton Agader and Al Medrano also grow tomatoes, potatoes, onions, papaya and seed crops such as corn and sunflower.
Lavina Agader represents Twin Bridge Farms and their famous asparagus and other produce. Lavina's husband, Milton and his partner Al Medrano are very busy on the farm and sent Lavina to chat with KITV's Dan Meisenzahl to encourage viewers to Buy Fresh - Buy Local!
