Our Farmers

Hawaiʻi ʻUlu Co-op is owned by over 200 small, diversified family farms on Hawaiʻi Island, Maui, O‘ahu, and Kaua‘i. We come from all walks of life, but are united through our passion for ʻulu and commitment to farming in a way that honors the past while caring deeply for the future. Together, we work to accomplish far more than the sum of our parts - building a sustainable breadfruit industry that will help fuel Hawaiʻi's path toward greater food security, resilience and prosperity.
