These companies include Hawaiian Vanilla Company (www.HawaiianVanilla.com) and Pa’auilo Chocolate. The Lemonaders/Agri-Hawaii Team (www.AgriHawaii.com) is creating an office on the Big Island to create incubation programs for current and future brands (for the Big Island and all islands in Hawaii as well).
Pa’auilo itself created a commercial kitchen in the late 90’s to help out it’s local community. The Pa’auilo Certified Incubator Kitchen has everything that is needed for locals wanting to create a new product, for their catering needs and even the creation of a home delivery food business.
As Co-Founders of the Commercial Kitchens Association (www.CommercialKitchens.org) the Lemonaders Team is looking into creating a relationship with the Pa’auilo Certified Incubator Kitchen and other Hawaiian based commercial kitchens (Big Island, Oahu, Maui and Kauai).
