Free-Range Chicken And Duck Expansion

Kihei Poultry is a woman-owned, family-operated poultry farm in Maui, Hawaii. It is the first and only USDA and FDA-approved source of poultry and eggs on the island. The farm sits on a beautiful 2 acres of pasture where the ducks, chicken, and quail are free-range. Kihei’s initial quail production generated so much community interest for locally sourced, humanely raised poultry that Kihei Poultry has decided to increase production in order to meet the community’s growing demand. Their customers include individuals, restaurants, and grocery stores and they have a waiting list of well over 100 individual customers that is growing every day! 

Use of Funds

In order to serve their growing list of customers, Kihei Poultry is in need of capital to cover the costs of expanding their operation to include chickens and ducks (in addition to their popular quail products). Kihei Poultry will be ready to process the first batch of chickens and ducks within only six months of receiving the needed capital. At that point, the business will have the capacity to process and sell batches of birds every two weeks, which will generate enough profit to cover all operating costs and loan payments, as well as starting to save for unexpected expenses and future expansions to serve their local Maui market.

Kihei Poultry’s goal is to contribute to Maui's self-sustainability by means of a steady, consistent supply of fresh meat and eggs.
