Wagyu and Angus cows will be fed macadamia powder and Drink beer grown and produced by the farm itself. We want the entire production process to be vertically closed and completed on-site. Each cow consumes about 5,000-10,000 pounds of food per year and controls That’s the equivalent of many acres of land planted with macadamia trees. My daughters have been helping with the macadamia planting as well as caring for the animals.
