This program provides marketing support and tools for farmers & ranchers, value added product producers who work with Kauai Grown ingredients, as well as the retailers who carry these products and the restaurants who serve them. The goal is to help identify Kauai Grown products and experiences to the consumer with a Kauai Grown directory and point of sale materials, all designed to capture what makes these products and experiences special – the people and fresh ingredients behind the products, and the diverse choices that are unique to Kauai.
Program Purpose:
The Kauai Grown program was initiated by the County of Kauai and the Kauai County Farm Bureau as a way to promote our locally grown agricultural products and recognize the farmers, ranchers, retailers, and restaurants that bring these products to the consumer.
The objectives of this program are to:
- Clearly identify Kauai grown agricultural products to the consumer - both fresh and value added
- Promote awareness of the consumer and community benefits of buying local farm products
- Deliver umbrella marketing tools to help local producers, retailers and restaurants market their Kauai Grown products
- Enhance relationships between farmers, retailers, restaurants and the consumer
Program Participation: The program is designed for participation by:
- Kauai Farmers – the source of Kauai Grown products
- Manufacturers of value added products featuring over 50% Kauai Grown ingredients
- Retailers featuring Kauai Grown products at point of sale
- Restaurants and chefs actively using and promoting Kauai Grown ingredients
