Hawaiʻi Good Food Fund

14 food hubs around the state that provide vital support to small- and medium-sized local farms by working to aggregate, store, process and distribute locally grown, culturally preferred foods to Hawaii’s residents.

A working group of the non-profit Hawaiʻi Good Food Alliance, the Hawaiʻi Food Hub Hui (HFHH) was established in 2017 and today encompasses 14 food hubs around the state that provide vital support to small- and medium-sized local farms by working to aggregate, store, process and distribute locally grown, culturally preferred foods to Hawaii’s residents.

 To realize that vision, HFHH works to grow and expand connections between local farmers and food hubs, coordinate access to wholesale markets and institutions, and solve infrastructure needs of food hubs to fill gaps along the local supply chain.

To realize that vision, HFHH works to grow and expand connections between local farmers and food hubs

Not only are Hawaiʻi’s small, family-owned farms excluded by a broken food system, residents are challenged to feed themselves affordably, and many struggle to access fresh, healthy foods, and culturally preferred foods. Hawaiʻi Food Hub Hui’s mission is to achieve sustainable food sovereignty for Hawaiʻi residents via an organized, equitable and collaborative food infrastructure movement that takes bold action to improve the viability of small farms and local communities facing systemic injustices.​

Support Hawaiʻi Food Hub Hui

HFHH aims to transform Hawaiʻi’s local food economy into an equitable and efficient community-led system. We do this by organizing and resourcing food hubs that aggregate, store, process, and distribute locally-grown, culturally-preferred foods to Hawai’i residents.
