There's nothing like fresh-from-the-farm eggs and Peterson's Upland Farms has been a fixture in Wahiawa Town for decades.
The KITV Morning Show showcased the Peterson's Upland Egg Farm which continues a family tradition by provided fresh eggs in Wahiawa. The Petersons helped to promote the 5th Anniversary of the Hawaii Farm Bureau's Farmers Market at Kapiolani Community College.

Five years ago, the Hawaii Farm Bureau Federation established a true Farmers' Market at the Kapiolani Community College parking lot every Saturday. The market has since grown exponentially in vendors and customers.
To celebrate its birthday, Governor Linda Lingle stopped by the market to see the locally grown foods and local value-added products that are available each Saturday. The Petersons prepared their special dish for the studio crew and later that weekend at the KCC Farmers' Market.
