Hawaii Kai Farmer’s Market

Just experienced the Hawaii Kai Farmers Market last Saturday and it is a hidden gem for sure!
The boy, the dog and I went after an early Koko head hike to check it out and grab some breakfast. We decided it was too early for pizza, although the wood-​fired pizza smelled great, and opted for Homestyle Mexican food from a food truck. I am not sure of the exact name of the truck but holy moly, I wish I was paying more attention to it because the food was awesome! I had the huevos rancheros, which I would HIGHLY recommend. Everything was fresh (even the refried beans seem homemade!) and the eggs were perfectly done on hand made tortillas!
We were able to pick up kale, beets and some non-​GMO green banana chips! Everyone was so nice and accommodating! There was even a kids corner where the little ones were making ornaments while their parents shopped! There was an area for sitting and eating and an acoustic guitar serenade. The number of vendors was not huge but ranged from jewelry to prepared food to farm-​fresh fruits and vegetables.
My only drawback was that dogs are not allowed so we had to hurry because Koa was in the car. …But I can understand since there are food vendors!
I will definitely be back, even if it is just for the awesome mexican food!

Absolutely great …
You can get your weekly vegetables there for 10 dollars and plan a whole weeks worth of meals.
It is on Saturdays and Tuesday nights, although the market is much smaller on tuesdays, it’s worth going just for the pad thai from the Thai food truck!!!
Some of the best I’ve had … and it’s a vegetarian option!

This Farmer’s Market runs Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays from 7:30 am to 3pm. Located behind Panda Express, facing the marina.
Not a big set up, which is why I dropped a star, but worth the visit for sure. They are tucked away in the corner and had a good variety of fruits and veggies.
I bought the best pineapple I ever had, and it stayed fresh til we finished it in just under a week. Sweet and juicy and not too firm. Smelled amazing too.
People were friendly and would definitely go again!
