“Farm to Car” Program Returns to Support Local Farmers

HONOLULU - The “Farm to Car” program returns this week to provide O‘ahu residents with affordable fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and other
produce from local farmers. The innovative program is a partnership between the City and County of Honolulu and the Hawai‘i Farm Bureau.
“Making O‘ahu COVID-safe depends on everyone supporting each other and creating partnerships that help the people of our island,” said Mayor
Kirk Caldwell. “The Hawai‘i Farm Bureau and approximately 20 farmers recognized the need to give people access to locally grown food at a
reasonable cost and create a way for farms to become more financially sustainable. Partnerships like this help to create COVID-era economic
opportunities and get businesses and people back on their feet.”
Starting September 20 and continuing every week through December, people can pre-order local farm products online at www.farmtocarhawaii.org (
http://www.honolulu.gov/index.php?subid=46275&option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&urlid=13173&mailid=14088&Itemid=1511 ). Then on Saturdays, starting
September 26, from 9 a.m. to noon, customers can safely pickup their order with minimal personal contact at the Ewa side of the Neal S. Blaisdell
Center (enter via Ward Ave.). See attached graphic of pick-up area.
People should bring their receipt to the pick-up area. All orders are guaranteed and will be distributed according to the receipt number.
During April’s Stay at Home/Work at Home Emergency Order, the response of the community was overwhelming - over 10,000 people signed up for the
program.

Under the Mayor’s Emergency Order 2020-26 (
http://www.honolulu.gov/index.php?subid=46275&option=com_acymailing&ctrl=url&urlid=12905&mailid=14088&Itemid=1511 ), farmers’ markets are declared
an Essential Business and delivering fruits and vegetables are deemed an Essential Activity.
