Our Story
Petersons’ Upland Farm is a family poultry farm located in the heart of Wahiawa. The farm was established by James Peterson in 1910. Being born and raised in Honolulu and completing agricultural studies at Cornell University, James moved out to the country and began the farm, raising chickens, a small herd of Jersey dairy cows, and various crops. He sold eggs, milk, and cream to customers in Wahiawa, Schofield Barracks, and the surrounding area from a horse-drawn buggy. The dairy phased out in the 1940’s and we have since focused on egg production. James passed the farm on to his two sons, James Jr. and Alan in the 1950’s. Over the years, flock sizes were increased as chicken eggs continued to be the main focus of the farm. With this expansion, local families and restaurants across the island were using Petersons’ Upland Farm fresh eggs in their culinary creations!
Throughout our 114 year history, the farm has remained family-owned and operated. Our legacy has been blessed by 4 generations of family members and many dedicated employees who have all been committed to taking pride in caring for our chickens.
