Hawaiʻi ʻUlu Cooperative

Founded in 2016 by nine small-scale farmers on Hawaiʻi Island, the Hawaiʻi ʻUlu Co-op is an agricultural producer cooperative committed to revitalizing ʻulu, or breadfruit, as a viable crop and dietary staple. We do this by empowering farmers as changemakers in Hawaiʻi’s food system.

Hawaiʻi ʻUlu Co-op has grown organically over the years to become the foremost breadfruit farmer organization in Hawai’i and the United States, representing over 100 family farmers on Maui and O’ahu in addition to Hawai’i Island. By working together, HUC farmers strive to offer consistent, high quality products that are delicious, versatile, healthy, accessible and sustainable.

The co-op is committed to the revival of ‘ulu 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. Our vision is a thriving cooperative that sustains and uplifts producers, consumers and society as a whole. Farmer owned, ʻāina grown.
