Oʻahu-North Shore Chapter
About North Shore Chapter:
In 2019, our HFUU-North Shore Chapter historically elected an all-woman board. As the HFUU chapter for the North Shore of Oʻahu, we are fortunate to contribute to a community with a rich agriculture heritage and during an important time in which we move out of the plantation era and towards more small, diversified farms on the North Shore.
Our membership consists of a diverse representation of committed farmers, fishermen, resource managers, systems planners, value-added processors, chefs, business owners, educators, and grant writers. We work closely with the UH College of Agriculture students, CTHAR Agriculture Extension Agents, and the Go Farm program.
Mission
The mission of our chapter is to cultivate working relationships and opportunities between our NS farmers and markets and support local initiatives that are shaping the future of agriculture in our North Shore community. As part of this mission, a large focus of our work is serving as the action arm for the North Shore Community Land Trust Food Summit.
Meetings
Our meetings are consciously designed as a four-part series to: 1) provide fun learning opportunities with our agriculture extension agents; 2) promote inspiration and business/marketing support and opportunities through guest speakers and connection to resources; 3) organize our ag community around collective projects; and 4) foster social and working relationships that grow our farms, businesses and overall sense of community.
We rotate our meeting location to various host farms and local food establishments to foster exposure and relationships. Please join our newsletter and social media to receive our meeting notices.
Come support local agriculture by meeting farmers, community leaders, special guest speakers, at our monthly meetings. Bring a dish to contribute to our delicious potluck dinners. This is a family friendly event and is open to all kinds of farm lovers and supporters.
