There’s an interesting timeline of the history of agriculture in Hawai‘i on the Hawai‘i Department of Agriculture’s website. See it here.

Did you know:

• That the orange is thought to have first arrived in these islands in 1792?

• That coffee and pineapples were brought to Hawai‘i by the Spaniard Don Marin in 1813?

• How much money 15,000 pecks of pineapple brought in, when they were exported from Hawai‘i in 1897?

Do you even know what a “peck” is? As in, “a peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?”

That’s beyond the scope of the History of Agriculture in Hawai‘i page. But here you go.
