In 1868 King Kamehameha V imported a small herd of Axis deer from India to Moloka’i. The Hawaiian climate and environment suited the deer well and the wild population now stands over 100,000. Unfortunately, the Hawaiian Islands are among the endangered species capitals of the world and the deer pose an environmental threat, causing harm by overgrazing mountain slopes, damaging critical riparian areas, and introducing invasive plant species. Water run off due to the deer’s activities means less water in aquifers and erosion into rivers washes into the ocean, killing coral reefs and adversely affecting fisheries. The deer are an agricultural threat as well. In addition to feeding on sensitive & endangered native plants, they have a voracious appetite for the coffee, fruits and vegetables of the island’s farmers and compete with ranchers for grass. Harvesting the deer is critical to protecting both the environment of the islands and the livelihoods of the islanders. Nicky Farms Wild Hawaiian Venison offers a taste of exceptionally tender and flavorful wild game meat, while helping to preserve the unique flora and fauna of the Hawaiian Islands. Not many foods can match that.
