Kahuku Land Farms Stand

The fried banana with egg roll wrappers is better than any 4 or 5 star restaurant dessert! YUM!!! And, the fresh papaya, longan, star fruit, rambutan, coconut, and more, is awesome! Especially will sitting on the nearby beautiful, white-​sandy beaches! Heaven can wait…

Great produce stand! Lots of variety: bananas, apples, starfruit, fried bananas, onions, pineapple, sugar cane, and lots more! We will visit frequently. Great quality. Open in the rain!

Fried bananas are heaven! We asked the lady selling them how she made them, and it turns out the outer crust is a spring roll sheet, fried to perfection. It is $ 1 for 1, and $ 5 for six, so definitely try it!
We also got lilikoi, rambutan (which I found out tastes like a mix of grapes and lychee), and sugarcane. The sugarcane was not as sweet as I expected, but still good, and the lilikoi was really sour, but I’ve never tasted it before, so maybe they’re supposed to be like that; I’m not really sure.
They also sell bags of mixed fruit with starfruit, grapes, pineapple, guava, coconut, and a bunch of other exotic fruits. Amazing place and it’s off the highway which is usually full of traffic, so it’s a great place to stretch and eat some delicious fruit. But the one thing you NEED to try is the fried banana. It is soo amazing!

Tourist trap. $ 5 for a bag of pre sliced mix fruits that tasted like they weren’t in season
The only fruits that tasted sweet were the grapes and pineapple.

Omg. These fresh fruit they’re selling is so juicy and bursting with sweetness. This is one thing I love about the tropical weather, it makes the fruits very tasty. On this stop I got me a coconut, two guavas and some bananas to continue my 100 mile drive around the island. The ladies that was selling the fruits are very nice. I have to pay my respect for the farmers lifestyle.

Pros
Banana Lumpia: They use a huge spring roll sheet to wrap up their plantains and give it a good deep fry bath. You can hear the loud crunch in each bite. It is a $ 1 for one piece and $ 5 for a six piece bag and I highly recommend getting a whole bag since you’ll want more than one to devour. The banana lumpia was so delicious that I went back the next morning and purchased another whole bag.
Fruit Bags: They also have sandwich bags which they fill with fruit. I got a bag that was mixed with a variety of fruits that include dragon fruit, papaya, star fruit, guava, pineapples, and grapes. Get the variety bag to sample which fruit you like the best so you can come back and get more of the fruit that you liked.
Coconut: they also offer fresh coconut so instead of your morning coffee, you can get a whole gigantic coconut to take with you on the road.
Service: the dedicated ladies were friendly and wrapped up all the items I had purchased; although, they do try to hustle you to keep buying more. They also work early morning all the way til night or whenever they run of items regarding if it’s pouring rain.

One of my favorite stops in Oahu. The Fried Banana Turon/​Lumpia are the best! The fruit was fresh and prices were great. I got a mix of several fruit including Longans, Rambutan, Lilikoi, Banana, Guava and an Orange for $ 5! The Mango was fresh and delicious. My mom bought a huge coconut for $ 5 with plenty of coconut water and meat. Stopped twice because its so good! Make sure to stop by and support these local lovely ladies who come out each day rain or shine!

Stopped here as part of a tour. It was a cute little fruit stand along the North Shore. The fried bananas were cheap ($ 1 each) and it was alright. The coconut was a bit overpriced for $ 5 each with little juice inside. Bought a couple mangos and I was disappointed that one of them was infested with maggots when I got home. Otherwise, there were a variety of fruits at a reasonable price. I wouldn’t purchase too many because the fruits were over ripe.

So I’m only going to talk bananas here…
We stopped here to get some type of bananas, and came home with apple-​bananas, and «ice-​cream bananas» both of which are delicious and I wish were accessible in the mainland.
In the process, someone waved to us and told us we should try these fried tubes of god-​only-​knew-​what. My husband asked what it was, and a man said «don’t ask what, trust the locals eat it»
Turned out it was a fried banana, and it was FANTASTIC. They were selling the fried bananas for $ 1 each, and we came back over and over. Probably 5x in two days? We couldn’t drive past this stand without stopping for these.

Fresh fruit in lots of variety but only 4 stars because the coconut my husband bought leaked half of its juice before he was able to drink it + it would be nice to be able to cut the coconut in half after you drink the water and eat the yummy stuff

Great little fruit stand on the North Shore. Everything, no matter what, is five dollars cash. They have every type of Hawaiian fruit you can imagine. They even have it cut up already in ziplock baggies. Be careful getting into and out of the dirt parking lot, traffic is always crazy. The cooked plantains are really good too (six for 5 dollars).

Do not stop here and let these woman rob you! Great selection? Maybe. But $ 5 for a mango? $ 5 for a coconut? I stopped here once and never went back.

Over priced fruit.
I like to support local businesses but these vendors are always hustling. $ 2 for 4 Bananas. $ 6 for a «large ice-​cold» coconut. It wasn’t ice cold.

cute little fruit stand along Kamehameha Hwy. We got two coconuts, $ 5/​each and they cut it open for you.
I was impressed by the selection of fruits they had and really wanted to try the rambutan but they were $ 3 for 5. I only wanted to sample one but the lady was gonna charge $ 1. I get that this is what they do for a living, but $ 1 for one? Decided to stick to just coconuts and left.
Would’ve loved to try other fruits as they looked vibrant and delicious but had to save room for some shrimp!

I usually love stopping by roadside markets to find local foods and fruits. This one in particular was a bit sad. There was an abundance of coconuts, corn, mangos and apple bananas. The older lady that greeted us was a bit pushy in selling her corn and fruits. 5 small pieces of corn for 5 bucks was pricey. The fruit did not look at all fresh which can conclude that there might not be a great turnover rate. I selected a package of corn that looked somewhat decent and not rotted since we felt bad. We paid and left and that’s that.

Took my parents for a drive to the north shore since we were all craving a plate of garlic shrimp from giovannis. My parents decided they wanted to grab some fruit and corn along the way, especially since kahuku corn is known to be the sweetest.
Bought a bag of kahuku corn (6) for $ 5, which we thought was a pretty good deal… until I came home and ate one. It wasn’t very sweet and the kernels were a bit hard even if they were cooked well. The cob was pretty small in comparison to the sweet corn varieties sold at the supermarket. Maybe Kahuku corn is not in season right now or that wasn’t Kahuku corn???
My dad asked the woman what the prices were for mango and she said «$ 5» and then my dad asked how all of them were the same price when some were bigger/​smaller than others. Then she pointed to another smaller one and said «$ 3». That seems a bit off… Not to mention $ 5 for a medium sized mango is ridiculous!
Lastly, we tried to buy pre-​cut pineapple and it was $ 5 for 4 – 5 pieces of sliced pineapple… um what? At costco it costs a little under $ 3 for a WHOLE pineapple.
Maybe they thought we were tourists and tried to rip us off… or maybe they just sell super overpriced fruit? Either way, the corn is an indication that whatever they’re selling isn’t top quality. We won’t be returning…

I really love this fruit stand… getting here is not too hard, just plug it into your GPS and kinda slow down when you get close to it.
It was lovely driving up the coast to get here. There are about 6 stalls selling fruits and other homemade items. The vendors are so sweet and helpful. I definitely can’t wait to visit here when I have the chance to go back.

Only a few minutes from the entrance to the Turtle Bay Resort, this is a great place to grab some picnic provisions before heading off to explore the North Shore.
Fantastic selection, friendly vendors and decent prices too. Their $ 5 grab bags are excellent.

With this place being a farm stand and selling fresh fruits and corn, I come here, ironically, for fried banana (aka banana lumpia, aka turon). I assume they’re all operated independently, but I always go to the one in the middle. I’m thinking the other ones would taste the same too, but I don’t want to risk it.
The banana lumpia is $ 1 each, or $ 5 for 6. Get 6… or more. These are delicious. They are not too sweet, and they remain a little crispy even when cold because some of the sugar caramelizes on the lumpia wrapper. I’ve eaten a lot of banana lumpia, and besides homemade, these are probably the best ones that can be bought on the island.
Maybe I’ll try the fresh fruit the next time… along with my banana lumpia.

After swimming with the fishes and Honus at Shark’s Cove, We killed a Spicy Poke Bowl at Foodland, then took a drive further up the street to our favorite fruit stand on the island.
The vast selection of tropical and exotic fruit here is awesome-​young coconuts, mangoes, pineapples, jackfruit, lilikoi, bananas, dragonfruit, avocados, and many, many more. You can purchase them as they are, but if you wish to eat a certain fruit ASAP, they have coolers of cold fruit already, cleaned, cut, and bagged up for you.
Wifey’s favorite thing to get here are their mangoes. The minion in me grabbed some Ice Cream Bananas, and a bag of Banana Lumpias (6/​$ 5)…SO ONO! Next time you’re driving around up on the North Shore, hit up Kahuku Land Farms Stand and support these lovely hard working ladies. ALOHA!!!
