New Saturday Kilauea Farmer’s Market

New time and location for Kilauea’s Saturday Farmer’s Market. Starting today, the market starts at 9am and is located next to Banana Joe’s and Kauai Mini Golf, just off Kuhio Highway. This morning’s event consisted of a dozen or so vendors with a healthy variety of local fruits, vegetables, starter plants and more.

With plenty of parking, a beautiful setting and an earlier starting time, I wouldn’t be surprised to see this market flourish in the coming months.

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.
