(YEP) The Young Entrepreneurs Program (YEP) gives middle and high school students the chance to experience what it takes to run a real business rooted in agriculture. From developing value-added products and building a brand to selling at farmers’ markets and online, students gain entrepreneurial skills while supporting Hawaii’s food system. By inspiring innovation and leadership, YEP prepares the next generation to grow opportunities for themselves and for local agriculture.

Through community outreach that raises awareness, educational programs that inspire the next generation, and farmer assistance initiatives that provide direct support, HAF creates pathways for agriculture to thrive. By fostering collaboration, learning, and action, we work to ensure that Hawaii’s agricultural industry continues to grow—for our people, our islands, and generations to come.
