Finding the best local produce in Hawai’i
With the recent push in Hawai’i to move away from our dependence on imported food and return to the smart and self-sufficient model of local food production, farmers’ markets are popping up in parking lots across the state in support of this goal. But not all farmers’ markets operate with local farmers in mind as some vendors buy from bulk-item grocery stores and try to pass off imported produce to island residents at inflated prices. GREEN has sifted through the open-air market hodgepodge and found the real farmers’ markets, the collectives that promote local farmers and the freshest, locally grown produce, bridging the gap between farmer, consumer and table.
