I believe this is an effort to connect schools that have Farm to School programs to farmers & ranchers. It's part of the Hawaiian Harvest program of HDOA. It appears that some kind of certification might be necessary but it's definitely worth a look.

From the Hawaii Dept. of Ag website:
"The Hawaii Agriculture & Food Products Database (HAWAII) is all about connecting the world to the farmers and ranchers that grow food in Hawaii and connecting the world to the manufacturers that add value to the Hawaii-grown food to create products that showcase Hawaii agriculture.
HAWAII is where vendors can manage the Hawaii-grown and Hawaii-made products they offer and where buyers can find the products they are seeking. "
Farmers/Ranchers who want to sell Hawaiian Harvest products should register (FREE) with HDOA’snew Hawaii Agriculture & Food Products Database:

About the author:
Mary Spadaro

Founder and facilitator of Slow Money Hawaii, Mary spent a decade in small businesses before a 17 year career in non-profit fundraising. At Waikiki Health Center and Easter Seals Hawaii, where she helped donors align their philanthropy with their philanthropy, she came to understand that business and charity share the goal to be a force for good in their communities. Yet, they are regarded so differently. After retiring from fund raising and pursuing her interest in gardening and agriculture, Mary learned about the emerging third sector (also referred to as Values or Impact Investing) and Slow Money. In this realm, she found the opportunity to combine her fundraising skills with her love of farms, garden-fresh food and nature to play a small role in helping Hawaii farmers to rebuild a sustain-able and regenerative agricultural system that will nourish us all.
