Revitalizing Breadfruit

Revitalizing Breadfruit

"The Ho'oulu ka 'Ulu Project.“

Ho'oulu ka 'Ulu is a project to revitalize 'ulu (breadfruit) as an attractive, delicious, nutritious, abundant, affordable, and culturally appropriate food which addresses Hawai'i's food security issues. It is well known that Hawai'i imports about 90% of its food, making it one of the most food insecure states in the nation. Additionally, since the economic downturn of 2008, many families lack access to affordable and nutritious food. We believe that breadfruit is a key to solving Hawaii's food security problems.

New Maku'u Backyard Growers Co-op in Puna

 Whether you have a few loaded trees in your yard or a full fledged farm, we can help you get your produce to market and make some money. We are currently accepting growers in the area around Maku'u market into this newly formed co-op. Click here to see our  new website.
The idea is simple - you harvest your trees and we pick up that harvest the evening before market. You set your price, we keep 25% of sales, remaining costs and profits are split between members according to what sells each day. You no longer have to feel bad about fruit rotting on the ground - we'll make it easy to get more local produce to local markets, to build local economy and increase our island's food security. We can also talk about other homemade products like jams, pesto, and other treats. We are looking for pesticide free growers only and look forward to hearing from you! Mary & Sean Jennings
