Recent storms and flooding have caused significant damage to farms across Hawai‘i, with millions of dollars in losses and more impacts expected as conditions continue. For many small, local farmers, recovery will take weeks — if not months. The Hawai‘i Agricultural Foundation and the Hawai‘i Farm Bureau Federation are working together to direct support to those most in need. Your donation will help farmers impacted by the recent Kona Low storms. Donate now to support Hawai‘i’s farmers.
The Hawai‘i Agricultural Foundation is proud to introduce a refreshed brand that reflects our growth and our commitment to Hawai‘i’s future. Rooted in connection and education that lends itself to the land, this evolution strengthens how we connect students, educators, farmers, and communities statewide—building a more resilient, food-secure Hawai‘i for generations to come.
