History
Born and raised in America's breadbasket, California's central valley, Jacob had a front row seat to the growth of industrial agriculture and he didn't like what he saw. With a passion for the soil and small-scale farms, Jacob put his passion into action in Hana, Maui. Jacob and his longtime friend Austin Herzog, co-own two Hana-based businesses--Hana Harvest and Maui Land Management. Maui Land Management starts with the soil, helping farmers and landowners to implement regenerative practices. Hana Harvest provides a outlet for small farmers, home harvesters and value-added producers to sell their products at a competitive rate. Through the two businesses Jacob and Austin are influencing the local food system from soil to plate.
