“Larry brings more than 20 years of farming experience both in Hawai‘i and on the mainland,” said Shan Tsutsui, senior vice president of operations at Mahi Pono. “Larry’s track record of success will be invaluable as we launch Mahi Pono’s diversified agricultural efforts in Central Maui.”

“I am excited to be back in Hawai‘i, and look forward to helping revitalize Maui’s once thriving and diverse agriculture community,” said Nixon. “Farming on an island is truly a community effort, and I am looking forward to sharing our planting and production plans, and working with the community and our farming neighbors.”

Prior to joining Mahi Pono, Nixon worked in Hawai‘i as a Business Unit Manager for MacFarms of Hawai‘i. Nixon’s other farming experience includes being General Manager of Malin Potato, Operations Manager for Roll International, now known as The Wonderful Company, and Operations Manager for Sun Pacific.
