Dave Burlew and his family have been farming vegetables and fruits organically for over 20 years. He began farming at Punalu’u Ahupua’a Farms in 2013, and also has a farm in Kahuku. Dave’s concerns for the planet and its people led him to pursue a college degree in Environmental Science. Dave’s path to being a positive steward of the land began when he took a course called Alternative Agriculture. Organic farming is Dave’s way of interacting directly with the ʻāina by caring for the land in an environmentally conscious and beneficial way. He began his farming career as an apprentice on a diversified certified organic farm. He attended the Tropical Horticulture program at the University of Hawaii at Mānoa and the General Agriculture program at the University of Hawaii at Hilo. Dave is pictured here with his wife Tara and their son Kainoa on their family farm.
