Farmers Market List (Oahu)

Farmers Markets give access to fresh produce to locals in neighboring towns while supporting local farmers. Tourists may find it fun to browse the creations of local artisans--island based jams, baked goods, soaps, clothing and other hand made crafts (I recommend the Saturday morning KCC farmers market for tourists.)

There are the two main umbrella organizations (with differing politics) that host a series of Farmers Markets across the island:

Blue Tree Cafe (Oahu)

Someplace to try. Urban-eclectic coffee house offering raw food dishes and heathy smoothies, juices, tea and coffee.  Farmers market produce provide the base for raw zucchini pasta, vegan Mac and cheese and lychee scones. The home pressed almond milk and organic baked goods and mark this spot as a new hopeful on the Eco-conscious section of stores on kapiolani blvd near Ward.
