In a statement posted on their website and socials, Petersons’ Upland Farms said they will be winding down their poultry operation and egg sales as they transition.
We are grateful to the community for your support. We want to thank our loyal customers, many of whom we have known for generations. Our family would also like to thank our dedicated employees who have worked alongside our family over the years in helping us provide farm fresh, quality eggs.”

The farm was established by James Peterson in 1910 and resident in the heart of Wahiawa.
They sold eggs, milk, and cream to customers in Wahiawa, Schofield Barracks, and the surrounding area for four generations.
For 114 years the business was family-owned and operated and they took pride in caring for their chickens.
