I have been farming with organic methods since 2004. The cost of farming organically here in Hawai` is quite labor intensive and expensive. USDA must give our US farmers a chance to compete locally. Please take into consideration our econmic needs. Also, our Sanctuary of Mana Ke`a Gardens State of Hawai`i 501 (c) 3 organization sponsors a the Annual Hawai`i Avocado Festival. This free event pulls together many facets of our local Hawaiian culture and agriculture in a festive setting. (attached) Our Hawaiian grown Sharwil Avocados are of the highest quality and deserve to have the opporunity of interstate Movement.
