Equipment & Inputs
Click here to access the O’ahu Farm Share webpage
O’ahu FarmShare is a group that makes it easy for farmers to share equipment through peer-to-peer rentals. We connect farm equipment owners seeking to rent their underutilized equipment with small farm operators or others that need it. Owning the specialized machinery and equipment you need to operate efficiently is a bottleneck for many operators. Bringing the “sharing” economy to farm equipment is part of the solution to make better use and earn more income with the equipment that’s already available on the island.
