HAWAI‘I AGRICULTURE FOUNDATION LAUNCHES LOCALICIOUS HAWAI‘I

More than Sixty-five Restaurants to Raise Funds for Ag Education

HONOLULU, HI - The Hawai‘i Agricultural Foundation (HAF) announced today that it will launch Localicious Hawai‘i from March 1 -- 31, 2015 for the first annual statewide campaign to raise funds for agricultural education by teaming up with local restaurants that are committed to buying local. More than 65 restaurants will support the campaign by asking patrons to order a Localicious dish which will be made with a locally grown, caught or raised product. Each time the dish is ordered, restaurants will donate $1 to HAF's Veggie U educational program. The dish(es) will be identified on menus with a sticker or logo next to the item.

Funds raised from the Localicious Hawaiʻi campaign will go to HAF's Veggie U agricultural education program. Veggie U (www.veggieu.org) is a nationally recognized program that supplies classroom garden kits and a robust five-week science program to elementary schools. The program is being implemented in 75 public school fourth grade classes this 2014-2015 school year. Each restaurant that raises a minimum of $500 will be able to adopt a public DOE class wanting the program in their school.

Developed in Ohio, Veggie U is a comprehensive 25-lesson curriculum that combines science, health, language arts, and math into an engaging educational experience for students. Using a classroom garden kit complete with seeds, soil, flats, root view boxes, grow lights and a worm farm, students will engage in hands-on studies emphasizing the process from seed-to-harvest, while incorporating multiple subject area disciplines. HAF is currently field-testing the Veggie U program with four Department of Education elementary schools.

"Students will make connections between agriculture, science, math, health, and technology, thus fostering a lifelong understanding and appreciation of locally-grown produce," said Alan Wong, Chairman of Localicious Hawai‘i and HAF board member. "We also need to make sure we have a pipeline of kids that want to be farmers and this program introduces students at an early age to agriculture-related careers."
