The prices were kinda pricey but competitive, they gotta make $ so you're paying for convenience after visiting the falls and wanting a fresh refreshment. $10 coconuts, that they open up after drinking so you can eat the meat. $8 for a bag of sugarcane but it had lime in it, which we didn't really care for. $8 bag of cut up pineapple, which was our favorite, nice and sweet and cold There was a nice sit down area to eat at multiple picnic areas and a spot to take silly photos. Parking was limited but there wasn't too much people there so we got a parking spot after someone left. I'd give it a 5-star review but I think they could've gave a small discount for buying more or if you're kama'aina..

Was happy to know that I'll never see an avocado of this size in Alaska, but it still made me sad because it did taste delicious.

It was like drinking the very essence of Hawaii cool, sweet, and refreshingly perfect. Seriously, I'm pretty sure coconuts were invented just for this moment. The banana nut bread. It's like if a cloud and a muffin had a baby. Warm, soft, and so perfectly balanced between banana and nutty goodness that I almost bought another loaf just to avoid the heartbreak of it being gone. Don't ask how many pieces I ate just know I left with crumbs in my soul. This stand is the kind of place that makes you feel like you're in on a local secret, and by the time you leave, you're planning your next visit. Stop in, grab a coconut, and try not to devour the entire loaf of banana nut bread before you get to your car. It's worth the stop and maybe even the calories. But wait.....there's more! They've got pineapple, sugar cane, and star fruit that'll make you wonder why you ever settled for regular fruit. Each bite tastes like a burst of sunshine, and you'll feel like you're living your best tropical life.

I wish we could have spent more time there, but we had to leave for Maunakea. The baby goats touched my soul. They were so well behaved, so cute and so loving. Most of them were so gentle taking each feed by hand. No biting or nipping. There were a few very small timid gentle ones. These especially stole my heart. I highly recommend this for everyone , and if you visit you should really support their cause.

You can tell she really cares about the farm and the animals just good vibes all around. We ended up grabbing the Original and Big Island Spice goat cheeses... both were creamy, not too pungent, and so ono, especially with the $1 crackers they sell on the side (definitely worth it). Perfect little snack while enjoying the view. Also picked up some of their goat milk chapstick which was such a cute little find and super moisturizing (& only $4) If you're driving through Honomu or heading to Akaka Falls, this place is totally worth the quick stop. Support local, eat cheese, and enjoy the aloha!

"You can die anytime, but living takes true courage." -- Kenshin Himura…read more What a wonderful health food store & gift shop. If you're wondering: "Locavore" is a person whose diet consists only or principally of locally grown or produced food. Add a bunch of uniques gift ideas by Big Island artists and life is complete. Located in the heart of old town Hilo on Kilauea Avenue is where you'll find Locavore or as locals will know it's next to Ben Franklin. The staff of Sam and Audrey were genuinely kind and welcoming. I was most impressed with their knowledge of products and pride in what they had to offer. My sister (who I was visiting) purchased fresh non-GMO produce and pickled namasu. Since I was visiting Hilo I chose unique stickers and postcards to take home with me. I really felt a warm peaceful vibe while browsing around The Locavore Store. On a Sunday afternoon it was filled with curious customers. Health conscience hippies, those looking for island arts & crafts, and a few locals living la viva Locavore lifestyle. What a fab gem in old town Hilo. Til next time... Pls follow my adventures IG: @eric_travel_guru

It is separated into blocks. When you arrive, the owner greets you at the gate and tells you where to park. Then she gives you a brief tour of the place and shows everyone how to use the picker and what lychee is ripe for the picking. There's plenty of lychee inside the trees, but there is also lychee on the outskirts of the trees, but the lychee inside the trees were nicer (imo)! After picking the lychee, we are able to cut, sort, and discard the lychee that are broken or not as ripe. So you really pay for whatever you pick/ is good! She weighs your harvest after and boxes/ bags them up for folks to take away. The owner is SOO nice and she has a water station for guests to stay hydrated since it does get pretty hot and humid.
