Cottage Law does not apply to selling on Maui Hub.

Photos and product descriptions must accurately represent what is being sold. Ingredient must be stated in product listing.

The main ingredient(s) of value-added products must be sourced.

If no locally sources option is available (flour for instance) we make exceptions for staple food items. Staple foods are the basic foods that make up a significant portion of a person’s diet and are usually prepared at home and eaten as a meal. (Pasta, bread, bagels, ect.)

Maui Hub encourages producers to list which farm(s) they are sourcing from. Highlighting where the locally-sources ingredients are being grown, whenever possible, for transparency and accountability.

Maui Hub will evaluate whether producers uses locally grown ingredients and how many local ingredients are used.

If a producer uses a fruit/vegetable ingredient that is not locally sourced and a locally sourced item could be used in replacement, Maui Hub will decline to sell the product on our site.

Maui Hub's mission is to expand the "Grown in Hawaiʻi" market rather than the "Made in Hawaiʻi" market.

State law prohibits using "Made in Hawaiʻi" for any item that has not had at least 51% of its wholesale value added within the State.

Health & Wellness Product: Products must be compliant with FDA labeling & marketing standards, with no artificial flavors, colors, or preservatives.

Maui Hub encourages producers to use Hawaʻii suppliers and consider what is locally available while developing their products.

- Using local honey instead of sugar as a sweetener.

- Include local fruits, nuts, or 'ulu/kiawe flour in any recipes.

- Use macadamia nut or sunflower oils instead of imported oils.

We encourage producers to adapt their recipes/processes to feature locally grown ingredients purchased directly from the farmer.

All goods must be delivered to our warehouse by Thursdays at 10:00 AM.
