Why
Join HFU?
The best way to add your voice in support of our advocacy and educational outreach is to become a member. Whether a farmer, gardener or just someone who values locally produced food, your membership makes a difference to our legislative endeavors and our grantors who fund our educational outreach.
You don’t have to be a farmer to join the union. When you join HFU, you gain access to a variety of member benefits, services, and discounts while helping strengthen Hawaiʻi’s local food system. If you’re not already a member, you can join today for just $50 per year - less than $1 a week to support family farmers, expand sustainable agriculture, and help ensure the next generation of farmers will be there to grow the food, fuel, and fiber we all depend on.
