Hamakua Coast
Located just north of Hilo on the northeastern side of the island of Hawaii, the Hamakua Coast is one of the most beautiful stretches of scenery on the island. With nearly 84 inches of rainfall a year, the region boasts lush tropical rainforests, stunning waterfalls and tranquil green valleys.
During most of the 19th and 20th centuries, the Hamakua Coast was covered with sugar cane. Today, communities can still be found where small farmers grow kalo (taro), hearts of palm, vegetables and tropical fruit. Small towns like Historic Honokaa Town also feature specialty shops and boutiques with their own local flavor.

The Conzumables Team is creating Hamakua.org to be a key resource system for farms and food and beverage brands based in this region. Towns and communities such as Honoka’a, Paauilo, O’Okala and Laupahoehoe will be a part of the program.
