North Shore Cattle Company was founded in 1997 by Doc and Kay
Lum. The 1,100-acre ranch overlooks the entire scenic North
Shore. It is the largest commercial grass-fed cattle operation on
Oahu and they produce 100% Hawaii grown Angus beef. No
antibiotics or hormones are used on these cattle. The cattle
graze on natural grass pastures and are kept calm and contented in the
foothills of the Koolau Mountains.

North Shore Cattle beef is dry aged with all cuts of beef available, from lean ground beef to filet mignon to andouille beef sausages. Noted local chef Alan Wong calls it “the best hamburger you will ever eat.” And KITV's Dan Meisenzahl can attest to that as he demolished a plate of their famous Loco Moco - steaming rice with a 1/2 lb. hamburger patty, topped with a fried egg and a fabulous special gravy.

The North Shore Cattle Company also operates a burger stand at Dole Plantation in Helemano, Oahu, and a restaurant, the Paniolo Grill at Coral Creek, in Ewa Beach. Additionally, The North Shore Cattle Company’s beef is served at select restaurants throughout Oahu.
The grass-fed beef can be purchased at the farmers’ market at Kapiolani Community College on Saturday mornings and the Kailua farmers’ market on Thursday evenings. The products are available at Tamura’s Supermarket in Wahiawa, Tamura’s Fine Wines in Kaimuki and Tamura’s Superette in Hauula. Visit www.beefhawaii.com for direct sales.
