check out this very nice video about the hawai'i 'ulu (breadfruit) co-operative: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IWelf-6NGQc
my bf is a breadfruit farmer and a member of the co-op. i've been to their kona processing facility - which was really amazing!
the folks who run the co-op are top notch, and i'm so happy that the co-op exists!
the stuff they sell at the supermarket is unfortunately quite expensive, but hopefully with further development, the price will come down.
they offer two features that are very important for local farmers: if you're a member, they will buy your product at a guaranteed minimum price if you bring them a certain minimum amount of harvest. and, they quickly process (usually freezing) the breadfruit so that it can be sold to the end-consumer without the time pressure of a rapidly-ripening breadfruit.
also, here's a nice civil beat article about 'ulu production in hawai'i: https://www.civilbeat.org/2026/09/ulu-on-the-up-hawaii-breadfruit-production-keeps-booming/
the most interesting piece of info in the article?:
"American Samoa produced almost 2.5 million pounds in 2023...
Less than 5% of American Samoa’s breadfruit harvest — worth about $150,000 — was sold that year, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. That’s because breadfruit is mostly consumed by tree owners and the wider community as part of an informal sharing economy." 💪

#Ulu (TBC) 🐊
A group of outsiders and locals are drawn into a remote river basin, where a series of violent incidents reveal that a massive, highly territorial crocodile – long believed to exist only in legend has been driven into deadly proximity with humans.

'In Unalakleet, a coastal community in western Alaska, our relationship with salmon remains an integral part of who we are. All summer, ...we’ll eat fresh fish while putting away a bulk of the meat for year-round enjoyment.' https://www.eater.com/23539614/ulu-knife-inuit-indigenous-kitchen-tool #foodhistory #ulu #indigenous

best #CSA pickup ever. this is the second time i've gotten their vegan chocolate breadfruit mousse & it was *just* as cold, creamy, & delicious as the first one!
i love that our CSA (https://www.daboxbigisland.org/) includes value-add products from local producers.
sometimes it feels like around here, it's all about moving food around to get it where it needs to go (into a belly before it goes bad!).

After our furbabies do a round along the upper pen's fence line, check on our goaties, do their business, and romp a bit, they head into the house to check in & let us know that they're doing a good job & earned a cookie.
I've tried to video this check in for over a year. Today, I finally got a video of these three precious guardians of our goaties, Ohana, & mountain home 🙌🏾💜🙌🏾💜🙌🏾 (along with my horrid singing to them 😂).
