Hawaiʻi ʻUlu Co-op (HUC) is a farmer-owned business working to revitalize ‘ulu (breadfruit) as a viable crop and dietary staple by empowering farmers as change-makers in Hawaiʻi’s food system.
Formed in 2016 with 9 small, diversified growers on Hawaiʻi Island, HUC has grown to over 100 member-farms on four islands (Hawaiʻi Island, Maui, Oʻahu and Kauaʻi) and is now the foremost breadfruit farmer organization in Hawaiʻi. By working together, HUC farmers are able to offer consistent, high-quality ʻulu products that are delicious, versatile, local, healthy, accessible, and sustainable.
The co-op is committed to the revival of ʻulu to strengthen Hawaiʻi’s food security and to the value of mālama ʻāina – care or protection of the earth – by using environmentally responsible production methods.
