World’s 1st Climate-Friendly Goat Cheese

Blue Ocean Barns x Merriman's Restaurant x Hawaii Island Goat Dairy

Three Hawaii-based businesses — Merriman's Hawaii, Blue Ocean Barns, and Hawaii Island Goat Dairy — came together to produce the world's first climate-friendly, low-methane emissions goat cheese. You'll find this sustainable culinary masterpiece at Merriman's Hawaii restaurants across the state.

The real hero of this story is Brominata, a seaweed-based product by Blue Ocean Barns. This game-changing feed additive reduces methane burps in goats by a staggering 75%.

We're all about championing solution-based stories of growth and impact. Blue Ocean Barns is leading the charge towards a sustainable food system, and making a palpable impact on climate change. All while choosing Hawaii as their home base.

Here in Hawaii, we're perfectly poised to lead the way in global sustainability. Wakeful State is on a mission to spread hope and inspire change by sharing compelling stories with Hawaii's visitors from around the world.
