Weekend To Do: Big Island Farmers’ Markets

Our local farmers’ markets are a great way to experience the amazing cultural diversity that Hawaii Island offers! There’s no better way than to visit one of the many farmers’ markets that take place year round all over the island. You can’t beat the prices or the selection either.

Fresh Local Produce at Hilo Farmers’ Market on the Big Island

These farmers’ markets offer fresh, locally grown vegetables and fruits that are often used in Hawaii Regional Cuisine. You can even find rare exotic varieties that are as unique looking as they are tasty!

Local Favorite ~ Spam Musubi

Many of these markets offer Made In Hawaii products that you will only find in the islands! You will also find collections of prepared foods such as plate lunches, Hawaiian poi, bentos, kim chee, lumpia, malasadas, and many more local favorites!

Spun Paradise ~ Tropical Flavors Organic Cotton Candy at Hilo Farmers’ Market

Farmers’ markets are also a great place to pick up locally handmade gifts, beautiful local artwork, and packaged foods. You may even get to strike up a conversation with the person who made the items or meet the actual artist! And don’t forget the flowers! The most abundant assortment of tropical flowers available!
