PA‘AUILO, Hawaii (Beef. It’s What’s For Dinner.) — Tucked along the slopes of Hawaii’s Big Island, SC Ranch has built its operation around supplying beef directly to Hawaii consumers.
Owned by Charles and Vanessa Stevens, SC Ranch spans roughly 7,760 acres and markets all of its beef within the state.
The Stevens family describes the ranch with a simple philosophy: “Born local, staying local and feeding local people.”
According to industry numbers, locally raised beef accounts for nearly six percent of the beef consumed in Hawaii each year, with production nearing seven and a half million pounds.
