About Aloha Bites
Owner and founder, Akiko White used to sit upon her grandmother Vera’s kitchen counter tossing ingredients into her grandma's 30 year old kitchen aid. Grandma Vera always knew how to adjust the recipe to make everything come out just right!
Several years later Akiko honed her cake skills and won several cake shows, one being the best in show at That Takes the Cake Show in Austin, Texas and she participated on Food Network’s Cake Wars with the Best Designed Cake in Cake Wars History!
That led to her making preserves and then founding Aloha Bites so she could combine her creativity with local Hawai’in ingredients to make unique sweet treats and share Aloha one Bite at a time.
About Hawai'i 'Ulu Cooperative
The Hawaiʻi ʻUlu Co-op is a farmer-owned business working to revitalize ‘ulu and other Hawai‘i-grown staple crops by empowering farmers as change-makers.
The Co-op was formed in 2016 with nine small, diversified growers on Hawaiʻi Island. Hawaiʻi ʻUlu Co-op has grown to over 200 member-farms on Hawaiʻi Island, Maui, Oʻahu, and Kauaʻi. By working together, the co-op's farmers can offer consistent, high-quality products that are delicious, versatile, local, healthy, accessible, and sustainable.
They are committed to the revival of ʻulu to strengthen Hawaiʻi’s food security and to the value of mālama ʻāina – care or protection of the earth – by using environmentally responsible production methods. Our vision is a thriving cooperative that sustains and uplifts producers, consumers, and society as a whole.
