We’ve had several guests ask us about where to buy the delicious tropical fruits Hawaii is famous for, so for all you foodies – this list is created especially for you!
There are farmers markets and fruit stands throughout the Big Island. The Kona side has plenty of them that you’ll want to visit during your stay with us.
Depending on the season you can buy fresh, local grown fruits such as bananas, pineapple, mango, guava, papaya, jack fruit and dragon fruit, as well as a rainbow of tropical flowers. Many of the local farmers grow their crops organically, making them extra tasty and nutritious.
Be on the look out for famous estate grown 100% Kona coffee and delicious homemade pastries, fresh fruit smoothies and other fruit delights. At most of the markets you will be greeted by live music from local musicians. If you love artisan crafts, many of the markets feature local artists who make uniquely Hawaiian handmade jewelry, pottery, clothing, photography, woodwork and carving. Hot food trucks and some local restaurants offer breakfast and lunch at the markets. Hawaii has a long tradition of welcoming visitors into the community, the Farmers Markets are a delightful place to experience that welcome and the spirit of Aloha. E Komo Mai
