Having never had any but Calif., or Florida avocados (which I don't
care for), I'm unqualified to comment on the Hawaiian variety. The
avocado site is certainly an outlet of Calif. producers. I'm partial
because those are the ones I prefer, and the .org sent me a nice
mousepad. Given the current price of the Calif. variety, I doubt I
could afford a Maui one even if they *were* offered.
