Summer in Hawaii isn’t just about sunny beaches and fun-filled adventures—it’s also a season of nourishing change for our keiki, thanks to the “Farm to Summer” program! Supported by the USDA, this fantastic initiative ensures that Hawaii’s children enjoy nutritious, locally-sourced meals during school breaks. And guess who’s stirring up the magic in the kitchen? Lanakila Pacific Kitchen!
By focusing on fresh, locally-sourced ingredients, this initiative celebrates Hawaii’s diverse produce and bolsters local agriculture, making it a win-win for everyone involved. Lanakila Pacific Kitchen is a proud participant in this program, and we’re make summer meals both nutritious and delicious. Serving over 30 sites across Hawaii’s Summer Food Service Program, we’re on a mission to turn locally-inspired recipes into a summer feast that keeps keiki healthy and happy.
Our approach is all about quality and care. At Lanakila Pacific Kitchen, we prepare meals from scratch and locally source 80% of our produce. We understand that flexibility is key, so we offer various delivery options to make sure that every keiki has access to healthy, tasty meals throughout the summer.
Adhering strictly to USDA guidelines, our team undergoes comprehensive training to maintain top-notch food safety standards. We take pride in our commitment to quality, ensuring that every meal meets the highest nutritional standards. After all, when it comes to feeding our keiki, only the best will do!
As summer progresses, Lanakila Pacific Kitchen remains steadfast in its mission to support the community’s youngest members. Through initiatives like “Farm to Summer,” we’re not just serving meals; we’re nurturing the health and well-being of our future generation, one delicious, locally-sourced bite at a time.
