The Otsuji Farm in Hawaii Kai is the place to be on Saturday mornings! KITV's Dan Meisenzahl found some friendly shoppers who were happy to have fresh-from-the-farm veggies and happy to support a Hawaii farmer.

Farmer Ed Otsuji and friend, Norrin Lau, enjoy the Saturday crowd that comes to the farm to buy Ed's fresh produce. The farm takes orders for $10 boxes of a variety of produce. To order a box, check out their website, which Norrin's son, Isaac, updates: http://otsujifarm.blogspot.com/ |
