Waialua Egg Farm Now In Production To Supply Hawaii Market

08/25/2022

Rose Acre Farms and Hidden Villa Ranch participated in jointly developing, Villa-Rose Inc., to establish the Waialua Fresh Egg Farm.  The complex is located on the north shore of O’ahu to produce cage-free product with the capability of delivering packed eggs to stores within a day of lay.

 

Currently, the farm comprises four multilevel aviary units with approximately 50,000 hens in each barn for a total of 200,000 hens.  An additional six barns are under construction, with completion estimated through 2025.

Feed and packing material are imported from the West Coast.  All other inputs are sourced locally. 

 

Fresh water is from a well equipped with a filtration system. Waste water after processing in a controlled wetland system is used to irrigate the property.  The complex has no standing water or ponds.

 

The company uses a biochar system to process manure. Currently management is cooperating with local farmers to develop alternative processing systems to enhance the fertility of soil. 

 

A solar array is installed on each of the barns connected to batteries. Backup generators provide power for the complex that is operating off the grid to enhance sustainability.

 

Eggs are packed using a Sanovo GraderPro with a capacity of 400 cases per hour to allow for future expansion in production.
