All of HAF’s agricultural education programs are supported by the Localicious Hawaii campaign. Each restaurant that raises a minimum of $500 can adopt a public DOE classroom that teaches one of HAF’s ag education programs.

The goal of the campaign is to raise $70,000 and extend ag education programs to more classrooms across the state of Hawaiʻi. Funds raised are used to purchase supplies and classroom kits, provide stipends, arrange ground and air transportation, and develop training materials for teachers.

In conjunction with Localicious Hawaii, the Hawaii Gas Localicious Art and Poetry Contest is for students in kindergarten through grade 8. The contest helps to raise awareness in our students about Hawaii’s locally grown produce and products. Students are challenged to artistically articulate their favorite foods made with a locally grown, caught or raised product. More than 600 students have participated in the contest over the past four years.
