E Komo Mai (Welcome!)

Against a backdrop of Waimea's lush green hills stands picturesque Anna Ranch, whose history began in 1850 with the purchase of the property by James Fay and his Hawaiian wife, Ka'ipukai. Their only child, Mary Ka'ala Fay, married into the Lindsey family and her descendants became premier contributors to the legacy of ranching in Hawaii.

About Anna

Anna Leialoha Lindsey Perry-Fiske was born in 1900, the great-great granddaughter of James and Ka'ipukai Fay. Anna was raised in the Island ranching lifestyle of the early 20th century, learning to ride, rope, mend fences and tend cattle at a young age while also mastering the decorum and etiquette necessary to young ladies of her day.

Upon the death of her father, William M.S. Lindsey, in 1939, Anna took over management of the family ranch, a bold move for that time. She oversaw its operation until her death in 1995.
