Empowering Local Agriculture & Nutrition

Kohala Food Hub is an online marketplace and distributor of healthy, locally-grown produce and locally made products in North Kohala on the Big Island of Hawai'i. Customers can shop weekly for individual items, as well as signing up for our Farm Fresh Food Subscription Program, a multi-farm CSA service, which offers a weekly rotating variety of seasonal, freshly-harvested local produce.

The endeavors of the Kohala Food Hub focus on synthesizing a direct connection between farmer/producer and consumer. This creates a more equitable relationship for both, and helps enhance our local agricultural economy.

​The farmers we work with are working together to meet the growing demand for local, nutrient dense food in the Kohala area and beyond. A project of the Kapaau-based nonprofit HIP Agriculture, Kohala Food Hub was launched to serve the Hawai‘i State Farm to School pilot program for the Department of Education’s Kohala school complex, in which our local cafeterias were able to buy fresh fruit and vegetables from local farmers. 

The core values of Kohala Food Hub include supporting our local farmers by providing consistent demand, in order to improve and increase healthy local food access in our community. We also strive to grow our local food systems so that we can become more food secure and less reliant on imports. By ordering from Kohala Food Hub, you can help us build and support our farming community, economy, and regenerative agriculture practices that preserve the 'āina.
