The only place I've seen them sell the fridge since the place in Pahoa closed is Hilo Propane.
Most off gridders use solar. The freezer only needs to run during the day when the sun is out so no significant batteries are required. Use a gizmo like I'll paste below and use it to turn a manual defrost freezer into a refrigerator. You can refrigerate on about 10% the power of a regular "frostless" refrigerator that consumes more electricity remaining "frostless" than on actual refrigeration. I used a similar one to turn a chest freezer into a fridge and it only used about 89 watts (when it was running, it doesn't run all the time), so a small battery bank will keep it running overnight.
