About Us

Rainbow captured at the farm in Waialua at 9:30pm. The mist coming from Wahiawa combined with the lights reflecting from the high school football field created this one of kind experience. The phone camera compensating for the lack of light made it possible to capture this moment.
Inside our facility

J. Ludovico Farm is a family owned operations that started in 2011. The operations has three sites on Oahu. Two of the sites are focused on pasture raised poultry for meat. The third location is currently in development and will focus on specialty and orchard crops.

J. Ludovico Farm consists of Julius, Jamie, Maria, Lucy, Ellie, and Jack Ludovico.

The operations did not intend to be a business endeavor. The initial goal was to supplement food needs for the growing family and minimize trips to the supermarkets.

Julius Ludovico was trained in Korean Natural Farming in 2010. He was able to practice and apply some of the concepts and knowledge at the initial site up in the hills of Pupukea. In the first year: asparagus, kabocha, lilikoi, cassava, dragon fruit, curry trees, bananas, and galangal were grown. Two pigs, two goats, and a group of ducks were added shortly after.

The chickens sneaked in by accident. A flock of 50 laying hens were added and eventually ballooning to about 200. The meat chickens were added concurrently during this time. The other animals were eventually phased out slowly as the demand for meat chickens increased.

The operations have been very fortunate to acquire help and assistance from many individuals and other businesses which enabled it to grow and thrive since.

The continued success is a reflection of everyone’s support.
