You might have noticed that the site has received a major overhaul in order to incorporate more exciting features and to make it easier for you to use. Existing members should log in using the email address that they used to register with the old site.

When converting the old member list, we were not able to migrate your old password. To obtain a new password, type in your email address as the user name and then click "forgot password" and you will be sent instructions on how to set a new password.

If you did not register an email address when you became a member or renewed an existing membership, contact Nancy Sechrist (membership chair) at nancy@makahikifarms.com or 808-323-2022, and Nancy will be able to help you.

There were several instances where the same email address was used for multiple members. In those cases, only one member was assigned the email address as a log in. If you need assistance, contact Nancy.

The credit card gateway is persnickety about address matches when it come to using a P.O. Box as the billing address.  Billing address as PO. Boxes are quite common here in Hawaii.

If your first attempt to pay for Pau Hana BBQ fails saying the address doesn't match, try putting the box number BEFORE the "PO Box".  For example, if your address is PO Box 1234, Kealakekua, HI, try entering "1234 PO Box" on the street address line.

If you are still having trouble, call Nancy 323-2022.
