The Holoholo General Store is a mobile marketplace offering fresh produce and items coming from local farms and artisans. They strive to make healthy living convenient, accessible, and fun in a way that is distinctly local and fueled by aloha & passion. Holoholo General Store promotes healthy living for the people of Hawaii while supporting the local community and environment. Use them for your school, your business, or for a "healthy" fundraiser!
Holoholo General Store delivers pre-order bags of produce while giving back 10% of the proceeds to participating schools. Included with each order are recipes that utilize produce from the bag. As an example, the small bags in a recent order included mixed lettuce, cauliflower, beets, avocado, long beans, red potatoes, crimini mushrooms, maui sweet onion, pineapple, fresh dill, zucchini, lemon, and papaya. There are also options to purchase local, cage free eggs, as well as locally made bread.

Live Aloha in Your Neighborhood
We live in the "Aloha State," but many of us barely know the people who live next door. Live Aloha in Your Neighborhood is an opportunity to connect, or reconnect with the people who live around us, in the spirit of aloha, to build neighborhoods that are more compassionate, self-reliant, and sustainable.
