HONOLULU, Hawaii (HawaiiNewsNow) - A Big Island farmer teamed up with Kamehameha Schools to present a large check to The Friends of Iolani Palace, which has struggled to keep the palace afloat financially during the pandemic.
Kaunamano Farm owner Brandon Lee raises organic Royal Berkshire hogs on Hawaii Island. Through a special promotion, the farm offered to donate $20 from each purchase of locally raised product packages to Iolani Palace.
