Maui Business Tuesdays is a series of salons produced by Akakū Maui Community Media, both in-person (limited seating) and virtual, highlighting small businesses in Maui Nui.
The second salon in the series is themed ʻMaui Small Farm Productsʻ and featured businesses are Haleakala Creamery and Maui Nord Farm Co.! The salon will be moderated by Maui Native Hawaiian Chamber of Commerceʻs President, Kainoa Horcajo.
Attendees will learn how these farms got started, how they grew their product lines, where they sell and distribute, and what it takes to sustain a small farm business on Maui. The conversation will explore both the creative strategies behind their success and the real challenges of operating in today’s economic landscape. Come connect with the people growing Maui, one product at a time.
Light refreshments will be served, and in-person attendees will have the opportunity to network and sample the featured farm products first hand.
The series is supported by a Maui County Office of Economic Development Grant, in partnership with the Maui Native Hawaiian Chamber of Commerce and the Maui Chamber of Commerce.
